For most places in Australia, Christmas is not cold. It isn't even just summer - it is the heart of summer.

A couple years back, I was in Victoria for Christmas, and it was 42C (~108F) in the shade, when there was a city-wide power blackout. No escaping the heat by running off to a shopping centre (though most of those are closed on Christmas day), or anywhere else. It was just freaking hot, everywhere.

We had a battery powered radio going, because we were under warning that a bushfire might be headed our way - which was the cause of the blackout. Damned fire was ripping through the state at a brutal pace, eating the infrastructure as it went, amongst other worse things.

Well, something went wrong, and the host of the radio show saying that things were going to ads, didn't mean it actually happened. And whilst the entire family sat around awkwardly (mostly half naked, too), we listened to a woman bathing the host's dick in a mouthful of ice water as she blew him under the table.
 
Yep, I give Oz another thirty years before it's a dead country. Even at the moment it's basically a huge desert surrounded by a very narrow habitable, coastal strip. Still, if they will insist on barbecues and coal mining...
 
Probably something dreadful involving spit-roast koala.
more optomistically, the regeneration of eucalyptus... typical romcom mismatched lovers - he is a logger, she is a koala botanist...

OMG= we did it, didnt we?
