yeah love the the old combustion heater, get the fire ripping ,big pot of soup on top ,foccacias baking in the oven underneath,the temp drops quick in a desert climate, on the oil rigs in the simpson desert we would be pouring hotwater on the water lines ,at 4am in the morning to stop the logging shack, equipment from freezing up, by 10am it was 26dg,c this was the middle of winter. by the way b4 all the greenys get upset we grow our own fire wood . .............

Well, Brisbane is down to about English summer temperatures now. The last two days have been chillier than usual. I've been out on Straddie for three days - absolutely glorious weather, nippy nights but beautiful cloudless skies all day long. I even had a pre breakfast play in the Pacific surf this morning. Fan-bloody-tastic it was !!!

Can't wait to get a bit of surfing done... Only place here with any waves really is a few beaches in S Wales and some around cornwall / devon. Even in summer the waters freezing (all year round u need a 5mm wettie, maybe 3 mm in summer or 7 in winter...). Over there its 3mm shortie in winter, and a pair of trunks in summer
