Summer usually makes them bolt to seed in the second year and crowns will go off then. Mine that I grew from seed and planted 6 months ago are a mass of green leaves. They have not developed a parsnip coloured trunk if that is what you mean by crown. 2 years is old for a parsley and summer is the harshest time for them. If they are young plants then I'd be thinking a fungal problem or something like carrot fly (not sure it is in Aus) being the cause. I found this handbook on Parsley http://www.vgavic.org.au/research_and_development/Researchers_PDFs/parsley_disease_handbook.htm
