Day 938 - Perth, Australia
Day 938 - 1st January 2008 +9:00 GMT
So Boxing day ended up being 44.2 C which made Perth the hottest place on the planet, also the hottest Boxing Day in history for Perth and the hottest Christmas weekend for 90 years. Boxing Day was cinema day for us as they have good aircon. Anyway had a relaxing break between Christmas and New Year visited Scarborough beach and ate out in Scarborough. On New Years Eve Jill and I decided to go to Gloucester Park which is race track and literally less than 30 seconds from the house. The night was set so there was a race meet with 10 races starting at 4pm and also a dozen bands playing across two stages and an onsite casino and a huge fireworks display.

So we headed over at about 8pm and were there to see the last 4 races. Jill and I put a small bet on each race and one three out of the four races. We checked out the bands which were really good and then watched the fireworks which started at 11:45pm and went through to bring in 2008.
Bringing The New Year
We watched the last band of the night after the Bells had gone which was an Australian Band called End Of Fashion. We then staggered home and opened a nice bottle of wine.. Happy New Year
