“Three thousand Australian returned soldiers and sailors of the First World War (1914-1918) built the Great Ocean Road.”
“The Arch commemorates the construction of the road and symbolizes the sacrifice made by so many in the First World War. It stands astride the largest enduring war memorial in the world, “The Great Ocean Road”, a living memorial to our forefathers.”

It is on debate that how and to what extent the global weather is
influenced by the carbon emission of human activities through burning the coal
and oil.
One side insists that the carbon emission of human activities produce
only an insignificant percentage of the total, following the dominant plants’
emission. Furthermore, they believe that the global weather has its own
intrinsic cycle influenced by the motion and activities of other planets. It
could be cooler or warmer.
The other side argues that the disasters of flood and the rising
sea level based on the melt of glacier are related to the human activities,
particularly in the recent 60 or 70 years from the use of steamer.
I personally agree with the first group because human activities
are too tiny to the global in terms of carbon emission. While we obtain almost
all the energy from the Sun, it does affect the earth mostly, by its black mole
or magnetic storms. I think the other group is usually operated or working for
the politics (this is especially an important issue during the election time in
Australia (21-Aug-2010)).
The ability to perceive Earth's magnetic field, which at one time was dismissed as a physical impossibility, is now known to exist in diverse animals. The receptors for the magnetic sense remain elusive. But it seems that at least two underlying mechanisms exist — sometimes in the same organism.
Easter Holiday is coming! Maybe because of 1st April, I noticed an interesting weather forecast from the website of http://more.nsw.gov.au/weather. There are somehow two Sundays with different weather. I like the fine one, J.
Anyway, the weather is changing better than previous forecast of the holiday-long weekend.
