Someone once told me, that it never snows in Australia... could this be possibly the only continent in the world to have no snow at all what so ever??

It usually only snows at high altititudes
in the south eastern bit, below Canberra
and in Tasmania (the small triangle shaped island at the bottom)
It rarely snows anywhere else

Not quite! It's true that as a whole, Australia is warm and sunny throughout 99% of the country. However, there is one place where it's not unusual for it to snow there. That's MT. Kosciusko-Australia's highest(and one of very few) mountain peaks. It's in the southeastern part of the country.

There is a skiing industry in southeast New South Wales and northeast Victoria and cross country skiing is developing in Tasmania. Snow has fallen in all States and Territories. The furtherst north it has been seen is the Clark range to the west of Mackay in tropical north Queensland. It has also been seen near Uluru in the Northern Territory on one occasion.

No, it snows in Australia. The only place where it does not snow is Singapore.
