well clunk me ol' canuck . .. . .. you pick your days of course

heat waves and fires and Melbourne lately 41 three days running
6 above the last record top

but you come back a week later and it's all mild summery and balmy

just like in Edmonton in hot summers, in OZ thousands of EATS
went through the hoops at places some old vets long after the war used
to say 'hot as the hobs of hell'

that's what the late Harry Purvis said of Nhill in February of 1941

short grass strips can look deceptively long , the far end hardly visible shimmering in the heat haze

but. . . let not the unfamiliar be deceived or mislead. Here there is
a wealth of lovely spots you can meander off to and put down right by the beach. Old Bar near Taree is a prime example. Or the strip at the far north end of Fraser Island. Then you've got at least half a dozen choice Barrier Reef islands to pick from. Brampton is a bewdy. Or was.

Inverted? Upright? Next you're going to tell us that you like to fly your DH60 inverted a lot. Just to be perverse. Or worse.
