Extreme heat forecast to continue across Victoria, Tasmania, SA and NSW for several days, as record temperatures cause cancellation of long weekend events
I wonder what was going on 112 years ago in Hobart. Old city. Probably whiskey drinking down a hot and still lane, lit by whale blubber powered lamps, with people contemplating how it could get this hot.
You might need to recalibrate your mental chronometer because Hobart began to have electricity in 1898, 126 years ago, and they had gas lighting before that starting in 1857 ish, some 160-plus years ago.

Whiskey drinking, most definitely though.
Mmm whiskey. Time to replenish our stock.
Bahhh. I like the whale oil lanterns better.
