  Yes, it is the second day with temperatures above 40 Centigrade (that's 104 
Fahrenheit).
There is a bad fire near Ballarat, 44 appliances and 6 aircraft fighting it. 
Plenty of smaller fires across the state. I got up at 4.30 am this morning - 
too hot to sleep.  :(

  Have a word with your favourite deity, will you, there will be folks here 
in trouble before the end of the day. It is now just after 7 am, and it is 
already hot.  :(

   Yes, Chinese settlers came in during the gold rush and have been here ever 
since. Oz is a real collection of folks from all over the world, e.g. 
Melbourne is the biggest Greek city after Athens.
A big Chinese community in both Melbourne and Sydney. The popular Lord Mayor 
of Melbourne is from the Chinese community.

Regards,
         Ron
