Hi Rob,
What some digicam manufacturers have done is to provide a thermally conductive
path from the image sensor to the chassis (alloy) in an effort to reduce
thermal noise. The Olympus E series digicams are configured in this manner.

Considering how hot Australia gets, additional cooling might make an improvement at high ISO. Have you tried sitting your E-10 on bag of dry ice to see if there is a noticeable improvement?
