The highest ever temp recorded in Darwin is 38.9, and Brisbane has not had a day above 40C, since February 2008.
In Darwin its the combination of humidity and temperature that gets you. As odd as it seems, a 42 degree day in Canberra seemed way more liveable than a 35 degree day in Darwin.

I spent an entire summer in Darwin once, and know exactly what you are talking about.

Still, 42 degrees is ridiculous. I'm inclined to say I'd rather the humid 35 degrees of Darwin than 42+ because I've lived in New York and I kind of loved the humid, wet summers they had. One thing I hate about Australia is how exceptionally hot and dry the summers can be. It's not pleasant, it's just unbearable and it makes everything so sluggish. I'd rather mild, wet summers in comparison to consistently hot 40 degree days. I also think I'd rather cold, icy winters than hot, dry summers. What does everyone else think? Is the cold more bearable than the hot? Do you prefer the wet humid summers to the dry and hot summers?
Also, to think we have a PM who doesn't believe in climate change, and that his inaction and disbelief will only perpetuate the rising temperatures here is cringe worthy Get real Tony Abbott!

Isn't that about vegetation types rather than climate conditions? Conifers and prairies don't look impressive in the autumn either.
They certainly have an "autumn" in the sense of a transition between the roasting ultra dry heat of summer, and "winter" which comes complete with its sub zero early mornings and plenty of cool days.
Colour in the centre is all about flowering vegetation that's linked to periods of rainfall, and not so much temperature patterns. After some decent rain, its actually pretty colourful.

I know Canadians are trying really hard to show us all pics of Vancouver and tell us it's not cold and the weather is fine, etc.
But, no.
Vancouver is north of Seattle and most of us know Seattle is like the city cloaked in clouds and rainfall most of the year. I'm sure Vancounver isn't all that different. And yes, it does snow there. Don't kid urselfves. Australia offers a more sunshine, more outdoor pusuits on it's beaches and parks, temperate and warm temperatures, etc.
Australia wins.
Canada is nice and all, but if I had to choose. Australia would win in a heart beat
Any one can suggest me It Jobs Canada vs Australia
