Photos of hairy chested Darwin agronomist Robert Wesley-Smith in rugged outback locations frequently depicted him open-shirted ,often in thongs .On a regular basis, he has been throwing his body into his own lagoon-Lake Weslee-in the Darwin rural area and swimming about like Tarzan,watched by his puzzled pet water lizard who thinks it is too cold to join him for a dip . However, Wes has just admitted that during the pandemic he has bought an electric blanket because it is so cold in the Top End. Furthermore, he sent an arty photo of trees reflected in the icy looking lake , reporting that he cannot stay in for long because the water is so cold .
Another athletic and muscular Darwinite once took part in a race up a New York skyscraper . Now in quarantine in a high rise with a panoramic view of the harbour and surrounding country, becoming smokey because of burning off ,he is set to establish a new world record for push ups . While watching the welcome return of footy on television , he decided to celebrate by doing 20 push ups each time there was a try. With so many being scored , especially in the Broncos thrashing , he resembled a threshing machine , a mite exhausted , but trim, taut and terrific ,losing several kilos in the process. His wife, on the phone in Townsville, suggested he should do an extra 10 push ups when there was a conversion . He has also been carting weights up a flight of stairs and should emerge from two weeks in isolation muscle bound...or on a stretcher, with a hamstring or groiny footy injury .
