I know they get fire tornadoes, but do they get regular ones down under too?

    Tornadoes in Australia are relatively rare, with around 10 to 20 observed annually, but can form with almost any severe thunderstorm.  They're usually in the southeast and have increased with climate change.

    Yes.  For a list, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Southern_Hem...

    You will need to scroll down to the section on Australia specifically.
