Friday, January 30, 2009

Last Monday I took lots of photos at Adelaide's Australia Day Parade. Here is slide show of some of the cultural groups.

Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪 said...: Hi Gordon,

I just heard on my radio that people are dying in Adelaide because of the heat wave. Is this true?

We have 27 degrees, and we already feel very hot. Can't imagine howit is like over there. I suppose even the sea water is hot.

Gordon said...: Ann - Yes there were about 20 deaths yesterday; many of which were heat related. Ambulance services have been especially busy over the last few days.

During the last few days, our minimum temperature over night has been hotter than your 27.

Coincidentally, as I was typing this I received an SMS:
