Heat in Australia.
The excessive heat in the interior continues unabated. Many of the thermometer records are well over 100. Mount Drysdale reports 122, Baradine 120, Brewarrina 119, Kempsey 118. Friday was the hottest day west of the mountains this summer. The thermometer ranged from 102 degrees in the shade at Bathurst to 116 at Bourke. The intense heat in the Clarence River district is affecting the maize severely. Whole fields are scorched or destroyed, and unless rain comes soon the bulk of the early maize crop will be totally destroyed. Goodooga on Saturday put up a heat record with 123. At Bourke the thermometer was at 121£.
