On Thursday 12th October 2006 Melbourne recorded its hottest October day in 92 years reaching 36.6 degrees celsius - a hot summer's day temperature in the middle of spring. On this particular day over 250 wildfires burnt throughout the state of Victoria whose bushland and forest are now extremely dry

The entire tone of the article is sensationalist, and the references to suicide among farmers look out of place, to say the least. The 1,000 year-drought statistic is certainly wrong, and should be deleted unless somebody can come up with details on the weather patterns for the last thousand years.
1029:
The 2000s Australian drought was an extended period of drought unlike other distinct dry periods associated with a smaller region. A specific article for the recent dry spell is not needed because the dry conditions were experienced across a large portion of Australia for more than 5 years.

While interesting, this doesn't by itself actually say anything about drought and climate. There have been a number of record days in the past few years: 1 January 2006 was the hottest day in Sydney for quite some time (at about 44℃), and 16 November 2006 in Sydney was had the
1011:
I also oppose to the idea of merging it into the 2000s Australian Drought article. If anything, the 2000s Australian Drought Article should be merged with the Drought in the 21st century section here and then redirected.
153: 604: 461: 793: 1204:
Most of the info is already outdated (as of June), particularly in view of recent statistics that show 2007 rainfall to be above average, as publicly recognized by the Australian government.
1383:
It certainly does... in fact, this drought actually commenced in 2017. I have created a new section for it, added relevant content, and adjusted the lead to reflect this. Cheers - Tony

Can I suggest the suicide section be updated to reflect updated information. Media Watch recently did a story on this noting that in fact the statistics were not so dire as reported:

To be included the source needs to be third party, EG a SMH article relating the opinion of organisation x. A secondary source, such as the advocacy website, can then be used.

Absolutely, and these kinds of figures should go into the article. I just object to extensive (or probably even minimal) write-ups of isolated extreme weather events.
