    Take care, southerners, heat wave coming

    The World turned upside down, take precautions.

    Scorching weather to hit Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    2 days near 40 does not constitute a heat wave. It's called Summer.... 😁

    When did we become so soft that this becomes front page news....

    Worked in it all day yestrday and will be again this arvo. Wear a hat, drink plenty of water and work at a pace that doesn't kill you. Pretty simple stuff.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    The mid to high 40s is actually getting close to the limits of human survivability (depending on the humidity as well and how many days you are exposed to it). If the body can't cool itself your proteins start denaturing.

    Temperatures more like Marble Bar than Victoria. But, shearers have always been a tough mob.

    Yes the shearer we get in used to work up at Cooper Pedy so won’t stop on days like this. Last year we had to stop as the Lister generator caught fire. The heat was too much for the capacitors in the voltage control board.

    500-800 crossbreds.

    Varys a bit as we run out of food & water for them.

    The wool prices for the coarser wool means we only cover the shearing cost. All the record prices you hear on the news are for fine Merino wool.
