Cold in WA?
Funny that, I spent one of the coldest days of my life near
Kununurra!
July '68, and a bloke and I were travelling back on the
Cave Spring/Weaber Plain, in a Toyota truck loaded with portable yard panels. Got caught in a storm, and got within a stones throw of the bitumen, at Northern end of the then cotton farms.
In morning, walked up to a Dept of Ag house and the bloke kindly rang the cotton cocky, who allowed us to use his Chamberlain tractor, to extract the truck, and another truck also caught there(one of Member Rob Mac's trucks)
As we were towing the trucks out, it rained again, and being on the tractor, sans cab, I got drenched. My woolen cardigan did little to keep me dry.
Once on our way again, heater at full noise, we stopped at Camapeske's pub, the only pub then, had a shower and reviewed the spirits list, for something warming.
