Best job in the world.

[Richard Quartermaine]

Great list there Eugene. Hope we looked after you in Sydney. I'm an old Shaw Saville Port Line wallah. Enjoy the site and there should be some of your shipmates among the 18,000 plus cruising this network.
Cheers, Richard

I can handle the 43 degrees if the humidity is down , the 100% humidity in Malaysia at that temperature wipes me out now

[Doc Vernon]

46 in Penrith now Des! And quite a hot one here for Blackheath as well at 36 think that's the hottest I have known it to get here since we moved from that Heat Bowl in Penrith! Air Con all day full blast mate! Keep Cool there!

[Doc Vernon]

After the News it is now official that both Penrith and Blackheath had their hottest days on record with Penrith peaking at 47.3 and Blackheath at 37.0
Whew!! It was a real scorcher!

[Richard Quartermaine]

Katoomba was also 37c (99f) and we had the plain old punkers whirling flat out. Just a slight breeze at 6pm on the front verandah and a cold bottle of Bir Bintang (Indonesian pilsener beer sold at Liquorland here). Just 'Derby' and 'Joan' and the dog.

Ah! Wilderness is paradise enow.
Richard.... only the first bit. The last bit was by someone else a bit older than me with a penchant for this sort of clime.

[Mike Hall]

Its a mere 9 c here in Maidstone

[Stan Carter]

It's surprising how we can suffer at the whim of mother nature. You guys in Oz are sweating your brass monkey's off, while we here in Eastern Ontario and Quebec are freezing our's off... Your temps are 37c, while our thermometer reads anything from -20c to what we woke up to on new years day, -30c... with the wind chill, which cuts right through you, it goes down to -36 to -39c. A difference of over 100 degrees c. these temps have been like this since before Christmas, today started off -27c and going up to around -10c but snow is forecasted, supposedly up to 10 inches or so overnight and into tomorrow.
regards, stan.
