frequent frost and occasional snow. Just a few
kilometres to the east, the land slopes
downwards to the South Coast, a flat coastal
plain where summers are much warmer and
winter temperatures are milder. Examples of
this are towns such as Bega and Merimbula,
both located about 80 kilometres east of
Bombala, however their climates are vastly
different to Bombala's.
