The Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes are considered to be the areas between about 30 degrees and 55 degrees latitude. For Australia, this is the area south of a line from half-way between Geraldton and Perth (in Western Australia) to Bourke (in New South Wales). This part of Australia generally experiences a temperate climate.
