If anyone knows a big town WITHOUT an Irish pub let me know.

Our 'ride'. It was pretty crap.

The weather did clear and presented us with Waikiki beach, which we spent all of about 1 hour on, the whole week we were there.....

Tom's attempts to re-fill the lake were futile.

The drought is so bad here that this lake used for the 1956 Olympics is completely dry. Ever walked across a lake?

A rainy night.......

11/12/06 Hot Hot Hot

Melbourne managed to equal a record set in December 1953 yesterday, the mercury hit 42.1 degrees C, and bushfires are destroying large areas of Victoria, about 200,000 hectares so far. So not good.

Whilst the sensible thing would be to go to the beach we found ourselves sweating (along with the Aussies I might add) trying to have a picnic as BBQs are banned, fire risk, we also shared our food with about 500 flies, nice. After two hours we headed back to the air-conditioned heaven of our apartment. They forcast a cool change and it arrived at about 6pm taking it down from 42 to 22 degrees in 40 minutes, if you think the weather in England is odd.........

Bushfires raging across Voctoria have meant Melbourne's CBD looks like this, smells like a bonfire and best to stay indoors......compare to the picture below.
