Why isnt australia affected by acid rain?

Acid rain is formed when sulphur emitted principally from coal burning power stations dissolves and reacts in rain water to form a weak solution of Sulphric Acid (H2SO4). Where the resulting rain falls on forested areas the acidic water leads to defoliation and tree death. The problem occurs where industrialised power generation is upwind of forested areas, such as the area across the North Sea from England to the forests of Scandinavia. In Australia the principal areas of power generation are in the coastal areas of the west, and in the more heavily populated areas of Victoria and New South Wales. In the former case, the pollutants are blown by prevailing winds into areas of very little rainfall, and disperse into the atmosphere. In the latter case, the polluting gases are blown over the Tasman Sea and South Pacific where the precipitation falls into the ocean. In both cases, the effect of acid rain is negligible on Australia.
