Heat Wave Hits Aus!!!!

Adelaide and Melbourne both got more than 40Degree. In Melbourne, Australia Open is held in there now. I hear the news said some players claimed the heat. Moreover, because that was too hot, the management of Stadium needed to close the roof of Stadium. And last night, because of hot weather, a lot of homeholds turned on their Air-conidition. The power network was overload, there were huge black down yesterday. I hear the radio news this morning, the train in Melbourne were full of tired people who could not sleep without air-con. Luckily, I am not in Melbourne this week, that is much cooler in Brisbane

More Details about the heat wave.

Great Petition

This artwork is just  placed near Parliament of Victoria on Dec 2008 (around a month before the time I took this photo. This is for celebration of the 100th year anniversary of women’s right to vote in Victoria.

This is inspired by the giant petition on 1891, with 30,000 signatures for the equal right of votes. So, it looks like a long roll of paper.
