The Australian Bureau Of Meteorology - Australian Gridded Datasets (BOM - Ausgrid) for the period from Jan 1960 until Dec 2000. The Ausgrid datasets are created by taking observational data from approximately 821 stations positioned across Australia and interpolating this to form a gridded dataset of the required variable for the required resolution. The CSIRO Archive contains the daily atmospheric variable Rainfall at .05° x .05° resolution for the region of Australia. Original zipped daily files have been concatenated into a single contiguous annual file (~800MB) in netcdf format, with 41 files totaling approximately 31.9 GB for the period 1960-2000.
