One area in New South Wales was colder than parts of Antarctica, the sub-zero temperatures plummeting below Australia's Antarctic research station, Weatherzone reports.

In Goulburn, the temperature reached a freezing -10 degrees this morning – which was colder than Davis Station in Antarctica, which hit a minimum of -8.4 degrees.

Tuggeranong's temperature today also broke a 25-year record.

Australians in Forbes, Cowra, Temora and Young woke up to sub-zero temperatures today too.

Australia's south-east is being served some unusually cold June temperatures this weekend thanks to a high-pressure system hovering around the region.

The cooler weather is expected to move east later today.

Minimum temperatures are forecast to warm slightly from Tuesday onwards in ACT and NSW.
