Correct!
Before then it was in Adelaide, which was a better track.

PS  Thierry Boutsen won the 1989 Australian Grand Prix (at Adelaide, which was a far better circuit than Melbourne is, in my opinion)

I have tape recorded that race!!!!!!!

A Williams Renault 1 - 2 in a hyper wet race, almost every driver crashed...even mighty Senna (I hated him those days), Alesi was in a tyrrel, Boutsen and Patresse in Williams, Senna and Prost (Prost didnt even started because the rain)...ufff 16 years...Senna crashed a Brabham at the back finishing the race with 3 wheels only...ahhh classic racing

Yes, Senna was dominating the race until he hit Brundle, when he tried to lap the Brabham...

A bad end to a bad year.
