    Ray, it was 45° on the coast, so way out west it would have been 5 - 10° hotter . . . west of the Princess Highway

    Just be aware that shade temperatures also have to be free of other temperature influences. Typically the measuring device should be in a timber slated box with a timber roof and not situated close to walls etc..

    Having said that, as I was travelling home this evening I am sure I heard on the radio that Sydney had recorded an all time high today.

    Default Scrumpy

    Paul
    The scrumpy is fine - 5 gall. outside undercover & 5 gall. indoors which I have just started drinking. Tastes OK to me but then I'm not that fussy when it comes to free alcohol!
    Mark.
    BTW. Millmerran looks pretty neat with that railway through the middle of town.......

    Yes but come winter your going to struggle to find timber to burn.

    This is what stops me from moving to Tassie.

    Sometime yesterday afternoon, my outside thermometer (open air under shade ) hit 50.3. I was in my well air conditioned car driving back from the central coast at the time.

    I remember at school in sydney way back when it exceeded 50 one day and we were speculating if we might get sent home.

    High 40's were common back then, but as Bushmiller said official figures are taken under specific conditions, and done that way for good reason.

    I'm old and fat now and had for some years wondered if that was why brisbane summers kill me. 2 january's ago I was at picnic point, my great aunt was passing away. I was on long sleeves black shirt and trousers and wandered from the home to the shops, about an hour walk at 1pm. It was over 40 degrees, heat spell all over the news. Didn't bother me a bit. Yeah I was hot but it was dry. No worries. Up here even high 20's kill me. It stays hot all night, all day for 6 to 9 months of the year and the humidity is suffocating. It just grinds you down.

    I'll take snow anytime. It's easy to rug up and get warm. In the heat there is no escape but air conditioning. You can't even go to the council pool. Apart from the crowds the UV will fry you in no time.

    I am hoping to move to the south coast in a year or so, once I've got some things sorted. Can't stand brisbane anymore.

    Getting firewood is no problem, getting at an affordable price can be.

    That reminds me, I'd better order some so it's dry by the time is gets cold.

    5 gall? Can I come over and stay at your place ?

    The railway was for the grain trains which used to come through on a regular basis four times a year. In the first four years I was in Millmerran I'd only seen a train on about three ocassions, bearing in mind it was only at the end of the road.

    Now they don't come through at all as the line was condemned after the January 2011 floods. The small bridges were declared unsafe.

    However the lines are still there at the bottom of our back yard about 200m away.

    I have to agree with you there. Humidity is the killer. You'll have to get the wind in your hair. On one of these perhaps?
