As for myself , we are in Central Vic .
I work for allot of farmers here that rely on being prepared for drought.
We have planes spraying above every day here trying to avert the return of the 10 year drought that we suffered from that ended only only 2 years ago with bloody floods , now the drought seems to have returned ...  :- (
We thought the drought period was past for a while , but atm , we are in another very very dry period, dams empty , water being carted to domestic homes ( I know , I am a local farmer / plumber )  , regardless of the attempts to Geo Engineer the weather above us here ... 
Silly ? are you on the land or live on a house lot mate ? 
One fact that I will stand by is that preparing for Drought is not silly , nor any post put up here regarding it ..
sheesh ...
