Australia is not too far away from the equator. Tropic of Capricorn passes through it. It is so hot because:-
The pressure zone there is Sub Tropical High Pressure Zone. It means that air is continuously sinking there making the air mass there as warm.
The southern part is a desert as the winds are offshore there(Trade winds). So they take away the moisture away from the land.
The West Australian current is a Cold current and thus it decreases the temperature of the ocean. This results in low evaporation and thus very low rain.
The recurring El-Nino has resulted in consequent Droughts there.
Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere. In this hemisphere temperatures are extreme because here Summer season and Closeness to Sun occurs together. So, summers are hot. Since this country is surrounded all along by Water, so winter is mild.
