Text Appearing Before Image:
leep at night. During some seasons parts of the continent are subject to prolonged heatspells, as for example, at Marble Bar, a mining township in the north-west ofWestern Australia, where the maximum thermometer reached 100 degrees Fah.and over for 64 consecutive days in the year 1902. NuUagine, in the sameregion, recorded 100 degrees Fah. for 57 days in the year 1900 ; Boulia, inWestern Queensland, 53 in 1902 ; Charlotte Waters, in the neighbourhoodof Lake Eyre, 25 days in 1893 ; and Charleville, in Central Queensland, 20days in 1893. Heat of this description is, however, confined to the interior.The figures of the State capitals will serve for confirmation of this point.Perth has only experienced a maximum temperature of 90 degrees and overon 20 consecutive days ; Adelaide, 14 ; Melbourne and Brisbane, 8 ; Sydney,4 ; and Hobart, 3 ; and it may fairly be assumed that extremes of climatein this respect have practically been reached, as records have been kept Climate op Australia. 125
