Damn,I remember now,Native deciduous trees? that probably was before i study about the Deciduous trees in SH,because there are none native deciduous trees(Cold Winter) in Mainland Australia
All of them ranked, even the ones not on the list:
1. Canberra (most continental and most likely to receive snow)
2. Hobart (coldest)
3. Melbourne (2nd coldest)
3. Adelaide (outer suburbs reach as high as 610m, and so have "real winters")
4. Perth (only because of outer suburbs higher up, like kalamunda)
5. Sydney (winterless and way too hot in the inland areas)
6. Brisbane (practically a tropical highland climate with the amount of seasonality it has)
7. Darwin (tropical bleh)

You forgot Sydney's outer west. Going by nighttime lows in the winter, Sydney's outer suburbs have cooler temps than those in outer Adelaide and Perth. Oh, btw, despite its inland location and cool highs in the winter, Kalumanda's lows are akin to Sydney CBD's nighttime lows.
The cool, elevated areas in "outer Adelaide" are not suburbs of that city. They are individual localities in a township called Adelaide Hills, which have nothing to do with Adelaide's metropolitan area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_...outh_Australia).

"Suburbs" wasn't the word I intended to use - I was referring to areas near Mount Lofty, such as Crafers.

Wow, had no idea about those. Much more continental than what I would expect from Sydney. Still too hot in the summer, though.

Well, highs are the temperatures people experience during most of their days. And I'd gladly take a slightly cooled Mediterranean climate like that one over Sydney CBD's monotony.

Crafers is a locality in Stirling, and is part of Adelaide Hills. Some do consider it to be an outer suburb of Adelaide, though. So it can go either way.

Very odd that you weren't aware of them, since Sydney's suburbs have been covered here a lot.
Yeah, you can tell that Sydney can be a bit continental if you look at it from a map. There are outer suburbs that would obviously have more extremes than those near the ocean. Kinda surprised that you were aware of lesser known outer suburbs of Perth and Adelaide, but not of those in Sydney (as the latter were oftentimes displayed here).

I personally disagree. I'd take a 13C high with a low of 8C any day over a 19C high with lows of 0C (I'd argue that this one would feel cooler). Evenings still exist and people go out at that time. I wouldn't want to feel such drastic changes in one day. But that's just me.
My favourite Australian capital is Darwin but because it is not in the list, I will choose Brisbane.
