00:00In the cool of the morning, the day began with a moment of reflection.
00:07Crowds gathered for the annual Morning in the Morning,
00:10a chance to honour First Nations histories and stories.
00:14We mourn the loss of our relatives, our kin,
00:17we mourn the loss of our cultures and languages.
00:20As temperatures began to rise by late morning,
00:23crowds took a quick chance to cool off
00:25before marching through the heart of the city for the Survival Day rally.
00:29It's really hot, but no matter the weather, it could be pouring down with rain,
00:32it could be nearly 50, I'd still be here, we'd still be here for our people.
00:36Organisers of the Australia Day Matters rally said some attendees were deterred by the heat.
00:41It's been really awkward with the temperatures, we've had a lot of pull-outs.
00:45We've picked a park with plenty of shade,
00:48we're going to have water machines and all sorts of misting machines.
00:51A police presence in Glenelg where the March for Australia event pushed ahead
00:56and speakers rallied against immigration and some expressed anti-Islam sentiment.
01:01It's not as great as the first one, I think there were thousands in the first one really.
01:05Up and down King William Street, North Terrace, today we're still good.
01:08But not all events went ahead as planned.
01:11The annual Aus Lights on the River and Elder Park fireworks have been cancelled.
01:15It's just going to get hotter and hotter today for people's safety and wellbeing, we just couldn't continue.
01:21We have now broken the record for the hottest Australia Day in our climate records.
01:27In Port Pirie, which reached a top of 48 degrees, the beach was the place to be.
01:33Jumping in the water, we're pure jumping over back here, doing backflips into the water, having a great time.
01:38Dip in the water a bit later and go and enjoy some of the Leamingtons.
01:42As the mercury rose to the mid-40s in Renmark, the citizenship ceremony was moved indoors.
01:48I'm here to support the Aussies getting their citizenship today. We're really exciting for it.
01:53In Adelaide, it's set to be another sleepless night with temperatures lingering in the 30s.
01:59Little reprieve on the fourth day of heatwave conditions.
