http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news...102-307s0.htmlWe didnt break the record and thankfully I am on nightshift at the moment but when I came on shift at 17:30 it was 46.8 degrees and as I type this post it is still 39.7 degrees.
Look out Brisbane and the east coast, you have got some hot weather on the way.

Breaking Weather News - 49.6 degrees - Australia's highest temperature in 15 years
Brett Dutschke, 13 January 2013
Yesterday Moomba in the far northeast of South Australia recorded a maximum temperature of 49.6 degrees, which makes it the highest temperature recorded in Australia in 15 years.
The last time a higher temperature was recorded was in February 1998, in the Western Australian Pilbara, where Nyang reached 49.8 degrees.
Moomba's 49.6 degrees is also the highest temperature recorded in SA since Oodnadatta reached 50.3 degrees in January 1960.
Australia's record is held by Oodnadatta, 50.7 degrees, also in January 1960.
