The weather in Australia in the 1800s was almost as unpredictable as it is now. Natural disasters such as droughts, cyclone, flooding and bushfires occurred, but generally did not affect as many people, because Australia's population was less concentrated than it is now. Bushfires certainly did not occur with the same fierce intensity as they do now, but that is largely because the old native fire regimes were still happening regularly, clearing out old undergrowth, so that major conflagrations did not occur.
