Western Australia - So far they were right; nothing here & lots of flies. However, it is in fact quite beautiful if still hot. Funny how  little perspective can help; I use to think 95F was too hot to ride. Yesterday, a few clouds and some rain to the east cooled it down from 104F & it was real comfy! There are supposed to be camels around here but haven't seen any. Rob & Marie (Darwin) gave me a small 12V hot water kettle (thanks!) and now I just plug that in and make some coffee in the morning (out in the boonies - AKA "everywhere in the north & west", it's $5 a cup!)
