Hello Vasya and welcome,
Surprisingly we actually have better snow depth here in winter than Finland does. As John said above, it is mostly restricted to one area from Victoria to southern New South Wales and at altitude of 1500m to 2228m.

This is what the Main Range of Kosciuszko National Park looked like this winter. The snow depth this winter was about 2 metres. The mountain in the distance directly above me is Mount Kosciuszko at 2228m, Mt Twynam (2196m) is on the right of the photo. There are 5 glacial lakes all located in the area behind me, which formed when the ice retreated after the last ice age. The only trees that survive up here are Eucalyptus Pauciflora (Snowgum), they grow to about 1900m altitude.
