Thought I'd post this up as it's quite obvious that many in the USA and Europe are in the grips of winter.
Here in Australia we have had some extreme weather.
I'll extend my best wishes to any Aussies in QLD or VIC affected by some of the terrible flooding in the weeks gone by and also to the people in far North QLD who last night had a terrible tropical cyclone hit the coast.
In the Hunter Valley where I live (2 hours north of Sydney) we have had a heat wave all week. Daily temps have been around and over the 40°C mark and the hotest we had at home was 43°C on Tuesday.
So as you would imagine it's hot, sticky and great - stay under the air conditioner inside weather, either that or the beach but it's even bloody hot there.
Well my wife is away tonight on a shopping trip so what does an Aussie do when it's been hot all week and a thunder storm roll's over...
Wet weather hammock and tarp setup practice, that's what.
Yes I have pictures so it did happen.
Bloody great way to cool off a bit and I actually didn't get too wet.
If my wife was home she would think I'm crazy Maybe I am
But she will never know
Oh well, now it's setup I guess I'll just have to sleep outside in the hammock tonight
Maybe some of you people would like to swap us Aussies for half your weather, and we could give you some of ours. That might give us some nicer weather all round, not to hot, not to cold.
