Temperature's been only in the low to mid 20's (Celcius) today in the Sydney area.
Rain (Showers) possible.
Spent the night looking after a building who's roof had had a significant emotional event.
So... wandering around making sure nothing else went wrong and looking up at the stars while inside a building. That was a... new... experiance.
Cheers.
Not at work.
Well... really... All we have to do is dig some channels bewteen Adelaid, lake Torrents and thence lake Eyre.
Let the sea wash in (It'll take a while).
Plant LOTS of mangroves and such in the saltier water to start pulling the salt out of the place (Invest in 'natural' salt harvesting as well. Create possible employment) while evaporation now brings lots more rain across the place.
Cheers.

"This is me, sheltering my kids on the beach at Malua Bay on New Year's Eve. (Three year old daughter in my lap and 6 year old son under that stripey towel).
I was angry and scared about our government's inaction on climate change before, but now I am furious and terrified. This disaster was exactly what I needed to snap me out of my funk, feeling like all of my activism and personal eco-choices were not achieving anything and thinking I needed to step back and regroup. This photo is my wake up call. All I could do down on that beach was protect my kids. And that's what climate activism is all about - protecting our kids. So feel free, if you are feeling down and helpless, to draw some rage and determination from this photo. It is going to fuel me through 2020, as we collectively take the wheel and swerve this country away from ecological suicide."
