I don't think they've spread to Melbourne yet, but the entire state is boiling. The winds are blowing the heat across to the east, though, and yesterday was the hottest day on record. 47 degrees or something stupid. I'd say if they don't stop soon, Melbourne will be in trouble. Which is a rather obvious statement.

The death toll has passed 100 as of yesterday, and the number of buildings destroyed passed 700. I really do hope those arsonists are pleased with themselves. Words cannot describe the feeling of loathing when I think of them. Lowest of low. [/rant]
