These shifts in climate are well known in the literature of
Australian hydrology — and to farmers too I might add.

Abrupt changes between multi-decadal rainfall regimes were observed in river morphology in Australian rivers in the 1980's (Erskine and Warner, 1988) and have been a cornerstone of
Australian hydrology since --(e.g. Micevski et al, 2006, Power et al, 1999, Verdon et al, 2004).
