STORM TRACK: July 31, 1983 (Volume 6 Issue 5)
A copy of the following climatology map on Australian tornadoes was sent to me by Dr. Joseph H. Golden. It was one of several items sent, as a consequence of his six week trip to Australia last year. Joe went as a Senior Visiting Lecturer in Meteorology to Monash University, near Melbourne. "They do get tornadoes and waterspouts in Australia and Tasmania." Joe said that he "gave several talks to student groups and to the Royal Meteorological Society, and aroused a good deal of interest in tornado chasing (on the left hand side of the road!) Joe also photographed a funnel cloud near two New Zealand volcanoes.
