Hot and bothered Dinosaur under a tree . |
Conditions are becoming increasing torrid across a large part of the nation as the build up to the Wet is very evident and there is another warning about the changing Australian climate.
Broome and the Kimberley region of Western Australia have experienced heatwaves ,the troughs being drawn down into adjoining states and the Northern Territory .
In Darwin , the steamy weather of late , after a quick shower, was described by a local as like walking into a wall of water. Fans and airconditioners are working overtime.
Down in the rural area mossies are out and about, adding to the discomfiture .
In large parts of North Queensland temperatures are rising . In Townsville , our Shipping Reporter is looking more bug-eyed than usual , showing clear signs of going troppo, again .
This he blames on a neurotic bird which has moved in near where he lives and stridently bleats for hours , sometimes starting at 3am , disrupting the waterfront roundsman's much needed beauty sleep and increasing the need for cosmetic surgery to improve, if possible, his wrinkled kisser .
The Shipping Reporter says he hopes to find a pre-loved bazooka at a garage sale or market with which to bombard and dislodge the infuriating bird .
