I don't know about op but keep in mind it's a big country. Very close in size to continental USA. With as much climate variation. Sydney for example has a higher annual rainfall than places that Americans consider rainy (eg. Seattle). Combine that with warmer temperatures and in many parts of Australia you are fighting a potential jungle more than fighting desertification. Canberra, the capital, on the other hand regularly gets below freezing which means less mowing required.

  Looking at that map, there are very few places that rain as often as Seattle. Most of the US that gets more precipitation, gets it in large downpours (thunderstorms).
