I have just endured the wet season as I passed through northern Oz. I Darwin it rained everyday. I was to go to kakadu but floods washed away the bridge on the main road in. I was to visit katherine Gorge but that road too was flooded. And last Saturday i had to stay an extra night in Tennants Creek because the afternoon storm flooded the high street. Still the locals were happy. Finally I am seeing the sun and while 30-31 is a little hot , I am happy with it. 26 is more my scene. Australia is generally too hot in the summer. Perth certainly was. And two days a week it was too hot to go out so you would hide inside. That is nopt living. We might bleat about the cold in NZ, but if it is cold and you need to go out, you can always put a coat on. What do you take off when it is 40C? That sounds lovely.

Overcast with the beginnings of a Norwester today. Warm enough to be running around in shorts getting sunburnt. 26 degrees a few days back without a breath of wind.

Here it's 30-31c in the daytime. I have been experiencing it much hotter as I have crossed northern australia from Perth in the past few weeks. I have just arrived in Airlie Beach which is a nightmarish vision of Pahia in 20 years time. Better warn Barnsley Bill. The peaceful settlement of my backpacking days 12 years ago has gone and now there are many medium rise resorts, plenty of shops, several nightclubs, much traffic, etc, etc. The backpackers are being edged out. The place I stayed at in 94 is still there but it looks like the possums in the back garden may have gone. But some things change for the better. I am staying in one of the new resorts. Backpacking is in my past. Good evening George

Sweet little lamb apparantly wasn't eating, was fading fast, bleated the media. And now he pleads guilty in court to terrorism and is now a porker. Tim Blair had it spot on when one of his commentators called him Tali-tubby! Tim Blair is a really good Aussie blogger. This week he also noted 'Algor' really does mean to make colder. The latest was snow showers when AG visted Dublin. I still look at the NZ blogs and should be home in a week or two. Have you heard about poor David Hicks?
