And so on this 5th of January 2030, John and I set out not long after dawn on a long long long ride, more than two hours, out past the new airport to see what was nothing more than very deep hole in the ground, but looks to be – whenever it’s done – the first grid-scale nuclear power plant in Australia. 

We arrived around 9 am, but still need to be careful. Temperatures out here are expected to top 40° today. And we’ve both decided that we’re going to put our bikes on the train for the ride home. Spare ourselves the heat stroke. It’s another heat wave they say but it’s always another heatwave. These days.
