  1. The Maslan map at 4:37 is all made up from his guesses since no Europeans that he would have communicated with had been to the vast majority of the area he imagined had water sources any non desert vegetation. Just laughable compared to the reality even in 1833. Most very difficult to explore without planes or very good motor vehicles. In the 1860s the huge Burke and Wills expedition to travel inland from Melbourne to Darwin had them die from the conditions they were not expecting from lack of water

  3. Last night's news for Melbourne had a overseas millionaire pay tens of millions for a penthouse floor that has not even been built yet. Just to use when he visits Melbourne for a few weeks a year or so A way of getting money out of shaky countries problem governments. Easy to buy residency in Australia with a few million.

  4. The great artesian basin has had windmills pumping water from it for 150 off years. But not inexhaustible and without salt problems.

  5. Record temperatures not too relevant to much. Subject to measurement errors too. The average temperature distributions are much more relevant on what people experience.
