G'day Folks,

Bit of a rant coming, sorry....

Well here in Southern OZ the garden has officially been killed off with 
our scorching summer.

After nearly a week of 40C+ a fortnight ago, on Saturday Melbourne 
recorded its hottest day ever 46.5C

Toms and chiles amongst other things kaput. B@#$%y heartbreaking.

Not to mention our bushfires here on Saturday that so far has killed 
over 70 people and 800+ homes burnt out. Some entire townships have been 
wiped of the map. Oh and did I mention that in Far Northern Queensland, 
it has rained non stop for a week or more and most of the rivers and 
homes around Ingham etc are under upto 6 metres of water in some places! 

Not a great start to the year in Ozzieland   :-(

cheers
Mark E. in OZ
