Subject: Bushfire season hits Australia

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Homes and lives threatened as 135 fires burn across the state of New South Wales

Bushfire season always sucks, it's a horrible start to the new year. Tasmania has been hit bad already, with thousands of people evacuating their homes and towns in order to save their lives, and now NSW is feeling the heat wave as well. Temperatures of 40+ degrees C (100+ F) caused the fire danger to reach the level 'Catastrophic', the worst possible danger level.

Just thought you guys should know. Discuss bushfires.

Yeah, Up here in QLD we've had a few bush fires around the joint recently. Right now there's a lot of smoke in the air, really sucks if you have asthma like I do.

As a Canadian, part of me is jealous, and another is thinking that that kind of temperature is too damn high!

Ridiculous hey, I think it got to 41 here. Could barely go outside, the air just felt bad to breathe. I tried to play xbox but it overheated after about 5 minutes of playing, really wish i worked today.

  • 01.07.2013 11:29 PM PDT

Was 47 where I am the other day, I usually don't mind the heat but that was too damn high.

I'd tell you to listen to the latter. I remember when NSW had its second highest recorded temperture of 44.6 degrees C a few years ago while we were down in Wollongong; definitely not beach weather.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

Heat wave is gonna hit SE QLD right on my birthday.

Glad I live on the Gold Coast though. Might head down to the beach.

Tell you what. You get a giant fan to blow some hot air up here, and I'll blow some cold air down there. deal?

Me to, Jumping in and out of the pool throughout the day is nice but you dry off in a couple of minutes and then your back to sweating in the heat.

I'm guessing by 'Orcs' you mean 'Moari'


Lots of those Orcs here in New Zealand then.

I was out on a boat on Sydney Harbour today, 42 C, and I hardly felt the heat at all. Definitely the place to be on a day like this, it was really nice.

  • 01.08.2013 12:47 AM PDT

Sure would be nice to have that weather here, minus the bushfires.

blarg.

It's pretty bad, I was actually driving through Nowra on the way back from Lightning Ridge (touring, no other excuse to be driving that far) a couple of days ago and it was in the mid 40's.

Lucky to get out of there when I did, when police and the fire brigade advise you to stay because leaving might be dangerous, then there is the potential for things to get out of control.

48C out in central Australia.

Today could have been the hottest average day in Australia.

Fires everywhere.

Holy -blam!-
