Kind of interesting that you pop up with NZ being an island (a couple actually), but I do not see any mention of NZ in my post. Also NZ averages much farther south than Australia.
Australia may be the smallest continent, but it is still a continent and I do not think it can be called a small land mass. I will not argue about water moderating weather as I grew up in Michigan. Still, I notice that most of the population of Australia is on the south coast. For what it is worth Sydney seems to be about the same latitude south as San Diego is north. None of this is any kind of news to those down under, but may be to one or two of us in the US. BTW, Mexico has water on both sides and the trade winds blow across it still it is kind of warm down there. Also the UK is tempered by the warm gulfstream current just being surrounded by water does not moderate their weather all that much by itself. John Francis wrote: > You don't get the heat.
