Tasmania is probably the second coldest place in Australia (after the Snowy mountains). Some cursory googling suggest that even there central heating is not common.

- JimTheMan 6y agoI'll fill you in as an Australian. We have gas heating, floor heating , wall heaters and such.. However the weather doesn't get cold enough to kill you here even down south. The houses generally aren't designed for cold weather and we as a nation tend to just put on more clothes and endure somewhat colder houses. I've had people from overseas complain about how cold they get because we don't do much about it. In say, Germany/China in winter I remember being stunned by how hot people kept their houses and public spaces. We don't heat our spaces in the same way generally. On the other hand, it gets real hot and we are somewhat optimised towards that way of living.
