Those look like really decent temperatures, though a bit damp some days.

Not as bad as your records set @Bretrick, we too had heat breaking weather this past summer. A good portion of the province burned up. That was after the devastating floods.

Summer might be over by the calendar but still plenty of hot weather to come.

The east of the continent is more than a bit damp. Major floods occurring in Queensland and northern NSW. Sydney has been deluged but not flooded.

The bonus is that the usually dry salt lake, Lake Eyre, is filling up and the dry channel country is becoming green. Respite for the migratory birds.

Why do different places define the seasons differently? Here we change seasons on the equinox and solstice. So we have a few weeks of winter left...

Thank you for you kind words.
There is a lot of information to share about my part of the world.

The rain front is now moving south, so New South Wales and Sydney will be getting much more rain.

ya know so much of Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand are just like Paradise..... but serious question.. how many of the populace visit these stunningly beautiful places, ..I mean by that...are they places which are easily accessible to people or are they generally kept for the brochures, like the beautiful island and highlands of Scotland... for example..

All the places I post about are easily accessible and many locals and tourists visit all these stunning places.
Many places require months to advance book.

I was confused why you said it was the last day of summer. Looked it up and you use Meteorological summer. They just started using this term in Canada last fall. Fall would normally start about Sept. 23rd here. In reality it’s more like the first week of September.

I looked it up too, and am still confused. Apparently there are a number of dates to choose from. To begin Spring I prefer the Irish (Celtic) February 1, but not to end summer (July 31)... Some places in south Asia have 6 seasons, in a couple of weeks we will be going from Shishir to Vasanta. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Season

I just wish it would warm up...
