That weather changes today becoming a little more like I imagine an Aussie summer to be; windless, cloudless, sun beating down. The mercury goes past 30 and I feel it. We go on task not just as a four-man team today but with 9 volunteers from the local community, though when I say local I’m talking a 90 minute drive for some. The power of the human spirit. It is a long day in the heat and I’m glad when we finish the job and pack up, but it will still be a couple of hours before I get to the shower by the time we have finished up the paperwork, got back to the FOB to clean down the tools and prep for another day. Just when we begin to calm down, I’m reminded we have to take a call from a journalist over from England who wants an interview, so we also think about prepping for that. The local Lions guild come up to the centre and cook for us; pasta. Ideal, we need the carbs for energy. Its going to be another hard day in the sun tomorrow. News comes in for our following week. Initially we expected to be in Adelaide for the whole of our two weeks in Australia, now they have asked us to move to Victoria for the second week. The fires are still burning strongly over there…
