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
