Saw a post on the
Sydney Morning Herald that we've had 20+ consecutive days over 30c. We may get a small dip in temps over the coming weeks but I seriously doubt it, its going to be a HOT summer.
If you're planning on passing up this way, dont overwork the car and be prepared for LOTS of flies, head nets will be mandatory in the bush :-)

Gday,
Ive got a wood stove in my house that I use in winter. I reckon they are great, and everyone comments how good things like roasts taste out of the wood stove.........I personally think its just the novelty because it cooks in a steel box , just like an electric or gas oven.....unlike a pizza oven which is open to the fire.
Cheap way to
cook and heat the house though.....
Cheers

might be just the way they the heat is sent to the metal box people i have spoken to say it is a more even heat so the meat cooks better
but as i said i am not speaking from experience
the big problem today is the cost of wood expensive here in
Broken hill unless you got a friend on property
thanks for your comment

you might be onto something with the heat distribution?
