Well, 'we were spared from that lot of winds. Here anyway. Hope everyone else missed it.
Just hope the farmers up north get some rain soon.

The nights look the best for detecting I'd knock up quick in that heat, something you need to be conditioned to I'm thinking. If I do get out in those temperatures it's either really early or later in the day /evening for me.
Been doing stuff around the house today soaking up the warmest day I have seen in a while, I think it topped out at (only) 19C in Bathurst today but it felt really warm and oddly enough I look like I got a bit of sunburn. Wont be long and Ill be cursing the 40C days feeding the sluice. ickshovel: :goldpan: :goldnugget:
ickshovel: :goldpan: :goldnugget:Nice one Jim, we are now down at Meeka for the next few weeks. A bit cooler than that here. :argh:

What are your 'Rules' for Oppressive Heat Nanjim ?
LW....
LW....
LW,
The basic rule up here is if you are drinking water and not pissing you aren't drinking enough water.....
Me today I filled my 3l camelback twice and my 5l water bottle once......
When it gets a bit warmer the camelback will be filled more often I usually top it up from the 5l bottle....
as for tools down when it get to 37 that doesn't happen....you would never get anything done.....
You keep a good eye on your mates and make sure they are drinking water......
Cheers Nanjim

Can understand the requirement for water Jim. Back in the early 2000's I was working in Iraq and each day I would have to put another block, 12 x 1.5 lt bottles, into the truck. It was about 50 each day in summer.

Wodgina lithium mine hey? still in the middle of the bloody oven. The Pilbara is not a comfortable place after xmas. Last trip I did to FMG Kings minesite in Feb 2016 I tried to stand in the shade of a large steel column. That was worse than standing in the sun due to the extra radiated heat from the steel. It was over 50c around the plant that day.
Hope you get out of there before xmas. Full respect to the mad *******s that work out there all year round
