The weather isn't hot every day, fortunately. When is hot I stay indoors and do the same when we get the dust from the fires coming from the Gippsland, a vast rural area located east of Melbourne. We had fires from the north and from the west as well. These days we had some good rain and today it has been sunny but not hot and no visible dust. Fortunately there is no danger in our area. Thanks for asking, Chris. How is the situation in Newcastle? Hugs, Lidia
