    Beating the Vic heat

    Received this via email (appologies to those that whine if already posted):

    beating the heat

    In Victoria the temperature has been above 44 degrees all week and they are forecasting another week of 40+ temperatures. Power is failing, trains have stopped running because tracks are buckling under the heat . It's just scorching.
    and it seems that the people are not the only ones suffering.
    Check out these photos of a little Koala which just walked onto a back porch looking for a bit of heat relief. The woman filled up a bucket for it and this is what happened!

    I also received this in an e-mail yesterday. Said in there that pics were taken at Maude in SA. (I am originally from SA and I don't know where Maude is).
