Spare a thought for the fine people of Ararat today, who have at long last won a 4-year battle against the oppressive summer heat.
“We promised to reopen Ararat’s Olympic Swimming Pool and we’re keeping our word.”
“The community has worked hard to save this pool. We’re giving families of Ararat a facility they can be proud of.”
The pool’s reopening will come with a refurbished change room, kiosk, showers, toilets, and is expected to provide a serious boost in community engagement and vital life skills.
And the pool is open after four years. But no swimmers yet. #Ararat pic.twitter.com/ReBJBOV658

And today’s weather is not an anomaly, either. The last hot day for the season in Victoria was literally yesterday.
