I was replying an email to my cousin when suddenly the power went off in this super modern country!
We (my brother, whose apartment I am staying for my 2weeks' holiday, his wife and I) looked out the window and it was quite dark except for a bright moon and some flashlights from neighbours so we knew it wasn't just a power trip in the apartment.
Surprising thing is, powetr was off for about 30minutes, the longest I've ever encountered in all the time that I've ever been in Australia.
Strange..seeing as I'm so used to power failure back in Papua New Guinea, at least there's power generator backup that kicks in within 1minute but over where I am staying with my brother in a resort/hotel type apartment, I'm surprised they don't have any sort of backup system at all.
Just goes to show that we cannot take things for granted, even in a modern country like this!
Guess it'll be in the papers tomorrow on why it happened.
