How hot is it?


Remember a key objective of this trip is to find warmth.  While the mountains at home are shivering in days with 8C maximums, if you look carefully at the number at the top right of the car screen you will see here is it 28C.

Given that we get just three or four days a year above 30C in the mountains, this is as hot a summer!

    We had 25C by the coast here yesterday. That already felt like summer to me.

    Luckily the winds haven't continued. The days are fabulous at the moment. Glad you got warmed up in winter. I'm sure you will enjoy the cool in summer while we fry.

      Yep our summer is pretty cool, too cold sometimes. I can't cope with Queensland summers.

    I'm looking forward to a milder summer this year - not the 40+ days we get in Ararat.
    (seems ridiculous, doesn't it - head to QLD for milder weather?).
    Plus my sister who lives around the corner has a pool and I LOVE to swim.

      Yep that does seem wierd to me. It is not so much the heat as the humidity that knocks me about in Queensland.

Listening to the stars

In the morning we went out to see the radio telescope 20 or so kms out of town.  On another wayfaring trip  we visited the radio telescope at Parkes  but this one is an array of dishes on a long track that can act like one big dish.

Larras Lee

We passed through Bakers Swamp without noticing anything.  Then reached our last dot on the map for this trip - Larras Lee and saw this.  The roadside monument says: In Memory of  WILLIAM LEE  (1794 - 1870)  of "Larras Lake"  a pioneer of the sheep  and cattle industry  and first member for  Roxburgh under responsible  government (1856 - 1859).  This stone was erected  by his descendants.  --- 1938 --- This is a repost from a few days ago. Thinking I would use this for this week’s Taphophile Tragics post I dug a little further into William Lee’s story, it’s a very colonial Australian one. William was born of convict parents, living his childhood years around the Sydney region. In his early 20s he was issued with some government cattle, recommended as a suitable settler and granted 134 acres at Kelso near Bathurst. He was one of the first in the area and did well. A few years later he was granted a ram and an inc...
