I am down in Victoria. About the heat, get a shade cloth. It is worth every penny. Next, your ph is way too high. I run at 6.2 - 6.4. Let it get there slowly and then try to keep it there. The recent rains that I am getting can split mellons if they get hit in the heat. Just my guess, but I would be surprised if too much water is the problem, the best I ever had were grown in a river bottom where the sand was constantly saturated.<br />
Good luck
