You are lucky then Hawk................maybe I should move back to my home town, I am sure the dry heat would be better for my asthma.

Keep cool today..........Melbourne had 46deg on Black Saturday 2009 and it was dreadful.

I remember that day. We had aircon then but the inside temp was still in the 30's. Birds fell out of the trees and our garden literally shrivelled before our eyes.

Purple I have my trusty ventolin with me. When the temp suddenly drops I tend to have a mild asthma attack.

Okay, I have googled "swampie".  I am confused.  Which definition should apply in your useage?

DEB.

I'm guessing it's a homemade evaporative cooling 'system'.
