This story about Apple Maps being wrong in Australia, shows how relying on some forms of technology can be very wrong.
The story talks about Mildura in Victoria, which is one of the hottest places I’ve ever been.
C and I were flying around Australia in a light aircraft and on the leg from Sydney to Adelaide, we stopped at Mildura for fuel and a snack.
I can remember C holding the door wide open as we taxied in to the terminal. The temperature was at least in the high thirties, if I remember right. Wikipedia says this about the temperature in the city.
Mildura experiences some very hot days in summer with temperatures exceeding 40 °C on a number of days per year.
It may have been over forty that day, but I know that I’d never been so keen to get airborne and into the colder air at altitude.
On our trip, it was the only time we set foot in Victoria.
