Hobbys Yards is inspired by a real Central Tablelands location, within Blayney Shire;
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobbys_Yards,_New_South_Wales
Hobbys Yards is elevated by 976 m AMSL and lies at 33° 41' 42.36" S. The climate here is subtropical highland (CWB), on account of its high elevation and fairly moderate latitude; also on account of its elevation is its extreme UV index. Thunderstorms are very severe and frequent in summer, often developing into supercells. Frost is possible at any time of the year; snowfall—although usually confined to autumn and winter—can also occur in spring, and, in exceptional cases, summer. Its westerly position about the Central Tablelands and Central West Slopes & Plains also makes it subject to potent heatwaves, commonly soaring past 35° C; of course, southerly winds can drop daily maximums to as low as 12° C or less. Hobbys Yards is fairly squally, which is rather typical of the NSW tablelands.
Its highest temperature on record was 43.7° C, held on 12th January, 1878; its lowest temperature on record was –18.9° C, held on 5th July, 1900; snow fell to eight feet deep on that very day, halting the Central Western railway lines.

It's a fictional climate that he just borrowed the name from a real place for.
