It's now January and the "wet" is either very late in coming or it's not coming at all. The weather has dropped a big low pressure area on Qld about 300 klms inland and it hasn't moved for weeks. The heat has been in the high unbearable limits and of course, the huge green eyed horse flies are out and about. The latest temperature in Central Qld was 44 C or 111 F. Further out West it was 45 C, 113 F. In South Australia, the temp today was 49 C, 120 F and tomorrow it will be 50 C, 122F. Now that's getting into the ridiculous end of the thermometer. It hasn't been this hot that I can ever remember. It is so hard for the elderly and little babies to cool down and many people don't survive. The weather bureau has stated that the heat will continue for at least another week. Working on the T/D is impossible and even in the early morning, the flies are unbearable.
Winter is coming and it will be so good, it just can't come soon enough.
