I hope you’ve had fun! Right now I am currently melting (and it’s not even 8am yet). It’s a cool 31°C this morning and is expected to get 40°C sometime today. We’ve made it to the Aboriginal community and have just settled into our new home. We do not have any internet access. The closest internet is about 2 hours away-no joke. So I will post more when we go into the closest town again!
