Heat and Flies

Crikey, it’s hot here in the desert – close to 40 degrees hot! But it’s a dry heat – and with a little wind is much more tolerable than the humid heat of Cairns.

Another thing – the blowflies can drive you mad! They don’t bite but they constantly buzz and swarm and dive bomb at your face. Arghhhh! We bought fly netting that fits over the entire head and neck that they conveniently sell at all the tourist stores. It works but it’s hard to see clearly and you look like a dorky tourist. Don’t know how the locals get used to these little buggers.
