...and the regular power failure...
I though Australia was a
modern country....
I thought so too. But Western Power can't seem to keep up at peak times (summer nights), and they blame the people for it instead. Last summer they threatened to cut power to parts of Perth if usage there got too high, before they broke down. Which I think people ignored, given the choice between sitting in the dark and the heat or sitting in the dark and the heat for a little bit less. Though somehow we dodged that one.
Really, who needs air conditioners on a balmy 35+ C day anyway? :|
In this case, however, we passed a fallen power pole that might have been the cause. It might have been a car accident, but they're all crooked down that street anyway.
Then there's the time a power pole fell down in the bush and started major ruinous bushfires.
Geologically speaking, our tallest features are "the Hills". And our soil is apparently the poorest in the world, just dead grey/black sand, because this is the oldest land-mass in the world. Yep, this is Mordor, only without the volcanoes. (The orcs are the bogans.)
Ah, and now we get cooler weather for a week. :D
