When you’re almost as far south as you can go in Australia (Bruny Island in Tasmania), it’s always good to stop and see how the temperature is measured (in a Stevenson screen). And see a lighthouse. And dolphins.

2019 was the word's second-hottest year on record (and Australia's hottest). The past five years each rank among the planet's five hottest since records began, and 19 of the hottest 20 years have occurred during the past two decades. https://t.co/DtlLfvwMtb
