Droughts in Australia are never a surprise. As the second driest continent in the world, Australia is subject to frequent droughts, and it is probably more of a surprise when there isn't a drought.
None
Different regions of Australia experience drought at different times. The drought currently being experienced by the southern regions is the worst on record, and has been going on for 12 years. In Queensland, some areas were drought-declared in August 2002, and are still in drought (October 2008), whereas other regions have had the drought declaration lifted, following good rainfalls earlier in 2008. A similar situation exists in Western Australia, where good farmland has been drought-declared for a number of years, but other areas have received sufficient rain to be taken off the list.
Drought conditions in Australia == ==
Because for a very long time we didn't get much rainfall over here and in Australia, we have quite dry and warm winds in late Spring, Summer and early Autumn (Fall) which adds to the drought.
All parts of Australia are subject to drought, but those parts least likely to be affected include:far north east Queenslandthe "Top End" - north Northern Territorycoastal regions of Tasmaniafar southeastern coastal regions of the mainland
No, Australia is not having a drought.
Constantly. There is always part of Australia in drought.
Most areas of Australia have permanent drought conditions.

I don't think anyone did because Australia has such good drought precautions
Droughts can occur in any region around the world, but they are more common in arid and semi-arid climates. Some areas that frequently experience droughts include parts of Africa, Australia, the western United States, and regions around the Mediterranean Sea.
At least one region of Australia is always in a period of drought. This region may vary from north to south, east to west, etc, but because of the nature of Australia as the world's second driest continent, there is always a part of Australia in drought.
Lack of rain in hot places like Indonesia and Australia will cause drought
The most drought-prone areas are the areas inland from the coast. Drought hits all areas of Australia (including the coast) but drought is more prevalent in inland Queensland, NSW, Victoria, Northern Territory and throughout South Australia and Western Australia. Even Tasmania can be subject to drought.
It continued not to rain?
If, by "SA" you mean South Australia, the drought was declared in October 2002.
At some time in history, any part of Australia could have had a drought. A more specific date is required. Droughts occur anywhere in Australia. They are less common along the southeast coastal regions, but certainly these areas have been drought-declared. The far northern tropical region rarely experiences drought.
