The heat wave has finally broken in Adelaide. It is cool and overcast on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula coast.There is no rain to moisten the parched land, or to save to the dying European trees in Adelaide. Adelaide's experiment as an English city appears to be over.

That is the colonial heritage---a little English town in spite of the vast differences in climate. Adelaide has never recognized itself for what it is --a city on the edge of the desert with high temperatures and little water. Maybe climate change will cause a rethink.
