MAD DOGS , ENGLISHMEN AND QUEENSLANDERS DODGE NOONDAY SUN

While large parts of the Queensland coast have  received heavy and  at time  damaging  rain, the Townsville  area  has  missed  out  , the  city's dam is way down and  the heat and  humidity  have  combined to  make  torrid  conditions. An indication that  airconditioners   are  working  overtime  and  that  dogs  and their  owners  are  not   out and about  socialising  is  this  picture of  facilities for hounds  at a coffee  shop . There is  talk  that  Townsville  should consider installing  a  wave  pool , like  Darwin's , if  so  it  is  hoped  that  it  provides  a lot of  cover   from  the  sun  as  this has  been  the subject  of  complaint  in the Top  End. The  wave  pool  idea   for  Townsville  was  picked  up after a city councillor  visited  the  Wave Way  on  Sentosa, Singapore.
