∙ 10y agoNo. South Australia receives the east rainfall for the size of land it covers.
South Australia is known as the driest state in the driest inhabited continent. Most of SA is in the arid zone, and only the south-east gets good rainfall. The capital city, Adelaide, situated in the south of the state has an annual average rainfall of 528mm. This makes it the driest capital city in Australia.
Although always a dry state, it is interesting to note that European settlement made South Australia much drier. This largely came about because people ignored the advice regarding the Goyder Line. The Goyder Line was a theoretical line proposed by surveyor George Goyder in the 1860s. Goyder advised against farming and pastoral activities above this line, although at the time the land north boasted fine bushland. Because of the severe drought of the 1860s, Goyder was sent to survey the lands, and he drew a theoretical line marking the boundary between the countryside where rainfall was reliable and unreliable. His advice against farming north of this line was largely ignored and, as a result, increased desertification occurred, which had a longer lasting effect of increasing South Australia's overall dryness.
