There's nothing worse than soaring temperatures in autumn.
Okay, perhaps AUSTRALIAN BUSH-FLIES and MAJOR EXAMS are the WORST of the lot, but that's another story altogether.
Now back to my point.....
Despite being brought up in the hot and humid tropics during the first 21 years of my life, I've thought the weather down south would be cooler and (yeap) a bit more pleasant.
While I cannot deny that Down Under has its "ups and downs" climate-wise (and need I say more about Melbourne's ever famous "Four-Seasons-in-a-Day"? =P), it is, on the whole, quite a refreshing change to me.
Up until the last couple of days, that is.
Today hit 40 degrees celcius, an all-time high since December.....and the sun (literally) SCORCHES the skin. ><"
Pay heed to the "SLIP-SLOP-SLAP" advice!!!
[To the uninitiated, "Slip-slop-slap" is the name of an Australian health campaign urging people to "Slip on a shirt, Slop on sunscreen, and Slap on a hat!!!" for the last 25 years.]
