Yes. There was quite a lot of talk about it during the drought of the early 80s, which culminated in the '83 bushfires. And a lot of news coverage. Source: was there at the time. Also mentioned as part of geography lessons during the 70s when discussing the climate of Australia. Climate change, however, was never mentioned. We were all too worried about nuclear war and 'the bomb'.
