I reckon Sydney feels plenty seasonal, even if the difference is only 10C between summer and winter. It's not like you'd get confused in the middle of July and wonder what season it is.
What on earth are you saying? That is just 1 big block of words. Weird that the sun in new Zealand is so strong.
The sun may be strong in NZ, but it does not compare to here. The NZ sun has nothing on Australia, despite his claim that the ozone hole is bullseye'd over NZ therefore feels hotter in the sun than Australia NZ has a very average, cool climate, and his hometown of Christchurch is cold. His December is cooler than my September on average, and the solar radiation at 43S will never match 34S in Australia.

sure, but it's more like a long warm season followed by a shorter cool season. You can swim in the ocean in the first case, it's a bit more difficult in the second case I guess.

I don't remember the sun in Victoria and South Australia feeling particularly bad, and I experienced some hot weather there. Sydney and Brisbane had that more familiar burning feeling I'm used to, and that was at cooler temperatures than I saw further south.
I'm going to be in Shepparton for a month in January, so I will see if it matches my recollections.

Sorry mate but now your talking nonsense. Australia is a hotter country for different reasons but the sun isn't one of the them. I live here because yes it is cooler and the Sun makes it comfortable for most of the year rarely being too hot which i know area's like Perth can get in summer so working outside there in that heat would just be hell to me.

NIWA numbers state that the far north of NZ can reach a UV index of 13, but no midsummer average is quoted. Australian tables give an average of 13 for Brisbane in January, and 11 for Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide.

It doesn't appear that UV has much of an impact of thermal sensation according to several posters on here, and sun angle is easy to determine, so I'm wondering if their is some other factor at play?
I remember from my time in Vic/SA, that in summer time, it was often hard to see low hill ranges only a few km away due to haze,. Whereas the skies here in summer can be stunningly clear after a cold change. Perhaps that lack of atmospheric pollutants allows less filtering and a stronger sensation?
I have known Australians to comment on the sun here, although it's typically surprise that it is as strong as it is, rather than saying it's stronger than they're used to.
To be fair you are Irish, so I expect you burn at a UV of 1...
UV 2 Actually lol. I am a roofer aswell though so alot of my easily burned pale skin is gone now anyway lol
