El Nino brings drought conditions to eastern Australia. These effects often last for several years, and they are by no means restricted to the eastern states. Lack of rainfall accompanying an El Nino can also affect the west coast, bordering the Indian Ocean.

Australia's severe bushfire seasons are often preceded by the El Nino phenomena, extending for any number of years. This was the case in the 1982-83 season, leading to the horrific Ash Wednesday bushfires, and again in 2008-09, leading to the even worse Victorian "Black Saturday" bushfires.
