I notice that Marcus Vitruvius (and also Craig D.) are very close to completing the 5/5 complete Well-Rounded Cacher challenge. However, there are but two and a bit days left, and they are Victorians, so it is likely to be two and bit days of hot and horrible weather. A check of the plot suggests that both of them somehow have to manage a D5/T4.5 in that. Take care, guys.

Well, looks like Adelaide's temperature today may have peaked at "only" 43.4 degrees.

Which means the last three days have been 43.2, 45.7 and 43.4.

And the next seven days are forecast 42, 40, 40, 39, 38, 38, 40.

I'm actually missing the found logs on my owned caches and watchlists. Everything's gone oddly quiet....

The only active D5/T4.5 is in Queensland so they're probably off there this weekend which should give them a break from our stupid heat.

A couple of years ago Nomad and I had a caching weekend where it was something like 42 one day and 39 the next. We were at the first cache of the day at 1st light (or just before) and cached until 11am before we ran away to the A/C

We still managed to find around 35 caches that w/e.

One hot morning, just on first light, we were leaving a cemetery after finding a cache . The poor lady on her early morning walk wasn't expecting to see anyone in the cemetery at that time so as she walked around the corner and found 2 shadows looking back at her....well.. I think she went home to change her pants.

Actually, Australia is the place where I have experienced the hottest and coldest temperatures. Renmark 47 degrees (BOM) and Canberra -12 degrees (said the guy on the radio @ 5am as I was driving down to the snow). I don't want to sound like 'you know who'

but my experience of the Antarctic and Arctic was warmer than Canberra.

Because of some procrastination on my behalf I've been out caching the last two evenings, and will be heading out again in another hour

Unfortunately I still have unfinished business here in Victoria, so will be soaking up the heat all day Saturday

I though t I had knocked off for the day and could sit back and enjoy the A/C but then I get an emergency call to go and climb on someones tin roof to fix a leak from their evap A/C.

Not quite a cat on a hot tin roof but close.

And then I get home to find a heat distressed possum on the driveway close to karking it.

Fun times in this weather

Hope you Adelaideians managed some sleep last night! The place I was in before I moved back to Sydney was a half house, north side, so all outside walls face north. No air con. I don't think sleeping inside would have been an option!

So anyone going camping up north this weekend?

Well I have just put up with a week of Briz-vegas' 30 degrees and 80+ percent humidity, as we do every year.
Gimme Adelwaide's 40+ and no humidity any day

I will now poke my tongue out at you all and head for the very civilised climates of the apple isle for the rest of summer

Tassie just had their hottest day on record. 41.5 degrees on Flinders Island.

The globe is warming alright. Soon all the polar bears will be dead. YAY!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the penguins won't be doing too well either.

Penguins have nothing to do with it, or do they? ...

Don't worry about penguins; our spaceships are at the ready to leave at any time.
