 A number of interesting photographic studies were taken of life at Kiandra, including a series by Charles Kerry, and a scene of Chinese miners near the Township.Owing to its elevation, Kiandra has a warm-summer humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification "Dfb"), as at least 4 months see an average temperature above and at least one month sees an average temperature below according to the 1897–1974 period of record and an extrapolated 1980–2010 timeframe, having cold and very snowy winters alongside summers that are very cool by Australian standards.This (continental) climate type is very rare in the Southern Hemisphere and almost nonexistent in Australia, with Kiandra being the only Bureau of Meteorology weather station with it.
