Why is Australia so overwhelmingly dry when nearby places like Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Indonesia, and Tasmania are all so wet and lush?

Something I haven’t seen mentioned here is that parts of Australia *are* lushly forested. I live in Far North Queensland, closer to PNG than Brisbane, and the whole coast up here is tropical rainforest. We get about 2000mm of rain a year, mainly during our monsoon season (November to May).
