The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has released a series of publicly-submitted, jaw-dropping images of weather patterns from across the vast island continent.。
They've taken the shots, along with photographer's accompanying personal stories, and turned them into a 2017 calendar we can all enjoy. Even without even buying it. 。
