Arthur, Snake Valley is about 120k west of Melbourne, or about 38k west of Ballarat.

Up in the hills!

It's extreme alright! Tomorrow is expected to be 18, then from 24 upwards for the next 5 days!

Excuse me while I throw another log on the fire, then get the air conditioner ready for Friday

Cool photo Ken. That just insane weather. Good to have a bit of h2o fall from the sky though. Much welcome relief for the agricultural community.
