El Nino brings drought conditions to eastern Australia. These effects often last for several years, and they are by no means restricted to the eastern states. Lack of rainfall accompanying an El Nino can also affect the west coast, bordering the Indian Ocean.
Australia's severe bushfire seasons are often preceded by the El Nino phenomena, extending for any number of years. This was the case in the 1982-83 season, leading to the horrific Ash Wednesday bushfires, and again in 2008-09, leading to the even worse Victorian "Black Saturday" bushfires.

What happens to rainfall in Australia and off the coast of Peru during an El nino?
Along the coast of Peru, El Nino generally brings wet weather during December-February and above-normal temperatures throughout the year (as long as the El Nino exists).In Australia, El Nino means dry, and drought is not uncommon during these episodes, particularly in northern and eastern areas. El Nino has less effect on the southwestern quarter of the continent. In addition, El Nino summers (December-February) tend to be hotter than normal in Tasmania and nearby southeastern Australia.

What has more impact on climate than El Nino?
In terms of large-scale oscillations such as El Nino, nothing has a more global impact. However, there exist many such oscillations, or teleconnections, across the globe that exert more regional influence, and season needs to be taken into consideration as well. For example, the North Atlantic Oscillation has a larger influence on the weather of eastern North America and northern Europe, especially during the winter. However, El Nino still influences the weather in these areas, and thus long-range weather forecasting in these parts becomes an exercise in balancing their influences, as well as those of other teleconnections.
