Melbourne and Sydney have recorded the highests rainfalls seen for 15 plus years with flooding in many areas that has not occured for many years. This is not merely a 'short term' situation but has been ongoing and increasing for the last 24 months. Brisbane nad other parts of Queensland have suffered severe floods over almost a 12 month period. Usually melbourne and Sydney enjoy warm summers with some summers rain storms and cold winters. These seasons are of course opposite to that of the Northern Hemisphere. Winters are cool with considerable snowfalls even as low at 300 metres (Mt Dandenong in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
