Did fido from newcastle to mackay for a couple of years.
Most of the time on site we were shade or aircon.
occasionally we had to do maintenance in pit under the sun. When doing this we were allowed to run utes with aircon running and have a sit down and and drink shit tons of water.
Drove out of pit one of these days and it didnt feel like any other but was 49 deg on the hilux temp gauge up the ramp.
Dry as a chip so made it ok.
If it was humid it would've been tough.
First summer in our new house in Tanilba bay 30 min north of Newcastle, super hot day, was 40 degrees as I got out the car at 5pm. Getting out of the air con car was like being in front of an oven getting a pie
Could hear people in the back yard in the pool. Tough choice working out whether to get a beer or get into the togs and jump in the pool.
Managed to do both lol
