I think seasons are the best thing about Finnish weather and nature. You get so many different weathers and the nature changes a lot during a year, I can't imagine what it's like to live in country where there's summer all the time. Also I think it's really cool how the amount of sunlight changes too, it never gets boring :D

@Milan Toncic Well it also depends on where you live and the years are also very different to each other. And now because of the climate change winters have become warmer and wetter and that's very sad... But the amount of sunlight is always the same, winters are dark, but you will get all the missing light in summertime. It's not darker in Finland than in any other place in the world, it's just not as equally divided as it is when you're closer to the equator.

From a tourist point of view, Australia beats Finland for having such large scale of attractions to visit. So many huge cities, rain forests, beaches etc. Finland does have the lapland, winter and a lot of opportunities to do some winter sport activities everywhere in Finland!! You dont get to do those things in Australia. The real answer is that you have to experience both sides personally and then choose wich one is better for you!

As a Finn, I hate hot seasons. Australia would be too hot. Even last summer here was a little bit too warm for me.

As having lived in Australia for 17 years, I'd say infrastructure wise, Australia is years advanced, i.e banking, financial, transport, stronger economy, but then it is 4x bigger than Finland. What I love about Finland......Its Finland lol. I love the cooler months, although it's hard to get use to the darkness. Cost of living is CHEAP! Sauna, it's laid back, it's geared to winter. Oh and THE TRAVEL!!! Definitely reminds me more of my home country New Zealand. Overall both have the positives and negatives but we live here in Finland, so in a way....we're all pro Finland 🤗

I used to live in Australia 20 years and loved it. Definetly the weather is much better there.Actually I love both countries.

If it's cold or rainy or windy or snowy, it's all about clothing and attitude. When it's freaking hot all year long, there's nothing else to do tham to stay indoors under air condition. Too warm is not good for human body. 4 seasons beats 1. >:)

This one was an interesting and good video. I liked it and remember ice-hockey we got an Olympic cold medals and we are World Championships also this year 2022. Greetings from Lappeenranta, Finland. :)

To add about nature, there’s a huge difference between how each country respect and protect their nature

It all depends on the person's perspective and how they see the world that surrounds them.if you're a person that truly appreciate the beauty of nature like me, Finland wins.

Well, my friends in Melbourne tell me they always shake their boots before putting them on and that in their garden they have spiders that can kill a person. We basically have just mosquitoes as to hostile insect life... And it does sound awfully hot and fiery, literally. The accent is crazily funny and the relaxed attitude to life are definite plusses though. And I bet you don't have 4hr long days either - or 5 week long nights should you live in Northern Lapland. So, I guess a wash :)

Good points. Social security, corruption index, safety index, healthcare all incredibly high in both countries, some statistics (most) show Australia is a little ahead, however others not. They are comparable. * Global Peace Index, Australia ranks 13, Finland 14th. * Corruption Perception Index, Australia ranks a small bit lower than Finland. * Australia has a lower "intentional homicide rate" 0.7 Australia vs 1.20 in Finland. Environmental impact Finland wins hands down! Both very innovative countries, Australia has some incredible pioneers in the research field, but again Finland has a great variety of innovation in a range of areas. Comparable, maybe Finland ahead just a little. Metal bands, lol Australia every day. Finland probably wins on Eurovision! PS: Australia hands down wins for overall friendliness and culture. TEMPERATURE in Finland is better, but the weather overall all year round, on average, sucks. Too much rain, and rates of depression and alcohol dependence considerably higher too. Australia may be yucky hot, but we get sun all year round and if you don't like it, just try another city.

Sadly no snow here in Turku this winter :(

Ya only think I don't like about finland is winter and cold weather. Summers are the best tho. Sports I great, I play floorball like 5 times a week, badminton sometimes etc. so we have opportunities. Havent been to Australia tho so can't say what they have. I know they have floorball in some cities there too.

I would've guessed your wife's a blond, ginger never crossed my mind . She talks almost with an aussie accent too, wow. Haven't been to Australia but with general knowledge I would say that Australia wins every category except perhaps standard of living. The houses are probably better built due to seasonal changes and because we spend so much time indoors. It could be a tie if we would count education and different art forms to culture, such as music. You should've added fifth category so we could've settled this but in my books Australia might slightly win, at least thinking about this in February. Although it's far away from rest of the world but Finland is on the corner of Europe as well.

There is no perfect country in the world. It's subjective what you like or what you don't like of the culture and of the people. As I don't live in Finland I can't really judge it. But I think there are objective criteria you can compare. Finland belongs according to international studies to the 6 best countries in the world to live. These are some of the objective criteria: - Finland is a very secure country. You don't have to be afraid to be shot also not in the night. Ok I think in Australia it's about the same. - Finland is well known for social security and the social welfare. It looks that in Finland the government tries to look well for their citizens. One example is for example the famous Finnish baby box for women becoming mother. I also like it how they solved the problem of the homelessness in Helsinki for example. This is quite unique in the world I think. As far I know the health care system is paid to 90% by the taxes. Finnish people pay only little amounts in hospitals or for health treatments compared to Switzerland for example. In Finland you don't have to pay monthly premium for the health insurance like in Switzerland. As rich people pay more taxes they contribute automatically more to the health care system. In my opinion it's fairer. - Finns take care of the nature and they have a pure nature, very good potable water etc. Ok I don't know how it's in Australia. - Finland was elected 4 or 5 times in a row to be the happiest country in the world. There must be a reason for that. - Finns are among the most honest people in the world, at least according to many people's experience with Finns. Of course some people don't like the winters, the cold in winter, the early sunset in autumn, may be there are people who don't like the Finnish culture and the the way of living of the Finns. But these are subjective criteria and concerning the cold and winter, the early sunset in autumn and winter, it is given by the geographical position of the country. Nobody can change it people who move to Finland just has to accept it and deal with it. But they know it before the move there. Personally Australia would be too hot for me and I would miss the snow and winter. But as I said this is subjective other people may like it. Though when it's winter in Australia it can snow there too, but I thinks it's rather exceptional.

And in the eighties some old people liked to retire to Florida. Sweden has been easy country to settle and it was popular in the seventies and eighties. But in current world, USA is not safe place anymore to have good living standards compared to Finland. Canada's climate is too much same as here and Sweden is just too similar and has its own issues and problems.
