@Furpo2; given your comment I gather you're unaware that enduring drought is still ravaging huge areas of Australia and bushfires are still burning in every state.

Of course, the Mornington Peninsula's weather throughout the latest Winter-Spring-Summer is anything but representative of what the overwhelming majority of Australia has experienced. Aka Jim Molan's confession last night on Q&A it appears you have a similar amount of evidence to support your opinionated comment as he did.

This is what the monthly precipitation picture looks like for Albury-Wodonga [until the 1980s the long term average was 728mms, precipitation is in mms] - temperature records are even worse:
