You are given a 6-month assignment by your employer to work at a remote location in Australia. In order to pack as lightly as possible, you try to research the climate of a small town in Australia. There is little data since no major cities are located within 300 miles of the town. What are some geographic or other considerations that might help you "predict" the general weather patterns at the location?

Is the town located near large bodies of water. If it is it will probably be cooler than in other places. Is it located on the side of a mountain? is there a lot of vegetation in the town? What organisms can survive there?
