Marko Jovanovic-Jozic, 18, brought his cousin Mary to beat the heat.

“My cousin came from Germany for the warm weather,” Marko said. “She came from -38 degree weather and the experience here has gotten a bit much. I told her if you want to cool off, the best place is the ice arena.”

That may be true, but even the chillers at the Thebarton Ice Arena in Adelaide’s west have been struggling in the heat, and the industrial ice is wet. Still, more than 350 people have come through its doors.
