  1. Mr Egeson was a little premature in predicting the great “Federation Drought” of the late 1890s through 1902, but he had the right idea.

    … from http://www.bom.gov.au/lam/climate/levelthree/c20thc/drought.htm
    “Drought is also part and parcel of life in Australia, particularly in the marginal areas away from the better-watered coasts and ranges.”
    “The 1990s saw formal Government acknowledgement that drought is part of the natural variability of the Australian climate, with drought relief for farmers and agricultural communities being restricted to times of so-called “exceptional circumstances”. In other words, the agricultural sector was expected to cope with the occasional drought, and relief would be available only for droughts of unusual length or severity.”

    Nevertheless, our local warmists claimed that the 1995/96 and 2003/09 droughts were the result of global warming, and a dire portent of the future.
    The widespread floods of 2010/12 have thrown a spanner into the works.
