It is now more than two months since I had any useful rain. It was

west on the plains they are wondering if there will be any
winter-planted crops. There were bushfires in Sydney this week.
The local fire burglars have been out, with the dust kicked up by
wind and the rising pollen count I have been almost house bound.
Not a good start. The BOM says ENSO indicators are neutral. We can
hope.

BOM (burro of meaterology? )

yes

local fire burglars?

Those who set fires, either because they think it improves their pasture (it
doesn't) or for fun, or both.
