Ha Ha! A nation built on wheat and sheep. Gone are those days.
No alligators but lots of crocs. Not the ones people wear on their feet either.

I've heard about that running water through the pipes to stop them freezing from my friends here at NT who live in frozen places each winter.

brrrrr, shivering just thinking about it.
Sun is out and clear day here too ... for now.
People out there surfing as usual I see. Ocean is much warmer than the ground temp.
