Hello There! I am Amy Taylor, a real estate consultant from Ballarat. I love this city, it's culture. As one of the best tourist places in Australia, this is usually full of tourists that come from all over the globe. Here in my profile you will get the latest updates about the Ballarat city.
Australia Fires Intensify: ‘It’s Going to Be a Blast Furnace’ INVERLOCH, Australia — They fled from looming firestorms that threatened to cut off their escape, only to join a slog alongside the masses of others who crowded the roads.
Thousands more waited for rescue by sea. Across the scorched southeast, frightened Australians — taking a few cherished things, abandoning their homes and vacation rentals, and braving smoke that discolored the skies — struggled Thursday to evacuate as wildfires turned the countryside into charcoal wasteland. And from government officials came a disheartening warning: This weekend will be one of the worst periods yet in Australia’s catastrophic fire season. “It’s going to be a blast furnace,” Andrew Constance, the transport minister of New South Wales, told The Sydney Morning Herald.

With another wave of unbearable heat expected this weekend, the biggest-ever population exodus is under way from New South Wales, where residents have been told their homes will be “undefendable” in the days to come. This is a national catastrophe. That rising temperatures, linked to greenhouse gas emissions, have turned swathes of Australian territory into a vulnerable tinderbox is incontestable.

Despite the extreme weather and in return lower than expected crowd numbers, the premier three-day aviation spectacular at the Parkes Regional Airport over the weekend was very successful. It's the first time Parkes has hosted the event, which in its current format has been running for five years. Friday's activities, which included the Aviation Careers and STEM engagement program, went ahead uninterrupted, though the dust was present in the air then. Some Parkes residents described the dust storm on Saturday as the worst they've ever seen. A series of seminars did get underway in the morning but had to be suspended and the tents evacuated to the clubhouse for safety reasons due to the high winds.
