Clouds mate, clouds. Southern Vic south of the ranges is the cloudiest area in Australia.
Yeah good point. What about the low elevation? Victoria seems quite flat up until Shepparton (I know they have mountains, but outside of the ranges). New South Wales is rather hilly and elevated (in comparison to VIC). Maybe that's another factor.

The Dividing ranges cuts across Vic separating Shepparton from the south. Shepparton is quite flat in all directions, the real hilly parts of Vic are between Bendigo and Melbourne, and just south of Seymour, Benalla, Wangaratta, Albury etc.
The wintry stratojunk gets backed up against the range like a failed septic tank, giving southern Vic its notoriously cloudy climate.
Another reason to use a 1mm cutoff for counting "rain" days. I once saw some July stats for Alexandra that cited 15 precip. days for a very small total - the number of 1mm days was only 2 or 3.
A rain event of ten raindrops isn't unusual for Cromwell. Rain should be sustained, rather than occasional drops that can be counted individually.
Mount Read, Tasmania would be one of the cloudiest, for a town probably Strahan, Tasmania.
