Here in the Alice we have 3 bird baths which have to be filled every day.I get up at 5 & try to be inside by 10 in the mornings but sometimes am still outside at 12 when I decide I have absorbed enough vitiman D and lost enough sweat & go & skulk under the air/con.Today is cooler at 37 much easer to handle.

I remember a wedding at Peake SA in the 1970s when the cousin put on the big sprinklers as the birds were dropping from the bushes from the heat.
