I never thought I'd say this...

It's TOO HOT for me. It's 11:55am here.. the temps are almost at the projected high of 41C. My electric bill from the A/C is going to be outrageous. There's not much we can do in this, but pack our gear and head to the beach. I know.. tough right? But you can only spend so much time at the beach as the UV index is extreme. I think when I return to Canada, it will be to a nice temperate climate like Victoria.... either extreme of heat or cold is just very unpleasant!

And some good news, Heather finally found a REAL job doing her chemistry work! She was hired, as she had hoped, in the wine industry at a bottler/distributor doing some sort of quality control testing.. or some other chemical thing I don't understand. It was looking likely, before yesterday, that she would be working as a waitress. They are not fond of hiring temporary visa workers in skilled positions in Australia, and I don't blame them.... travelers are usually unreliable.
