In March 2008 (after summer had officially ended) South Australians were forced to endure a record 15 straight days of temperatures climbing above 35ºC. Victorians also experienced extreme heat for a number of days.

One of three founders of Global-Roam back in 2000, Paul has been CEO of the company since that time.
