Does Australia receive very little annual rainfall?

It would not be correct to say that Australia receives very little rainfall. Australia is a vast continent with huge extremes, and this includes rainfall extremes. There is great variation between the areas that receive the highest and lowest amounts. As much as Australia is prone to bushfires, it is also prone to floods. The lowest annual rainfall occurs at Lake Eyre in South Australia, with an annual mean precipitation of about 100mm. The highest annual rainfall occurs at Tully in Queensland, with an annual mean precipitation of 4400mm.
