    Many years ago I drove from Sydney to Bendigo via Bathurst, Wagga Wagga, Deniliquin, and Echuca, just for a change. It was one of the hottest drives (over 40 deg C) down and I had no A/C. The ther problem was the Torana had a tendency to get quite hot, and to help the engine cooling I had to drive with the heater on for most of the journey. Not only was it hot, but the journey is reasonably long!

    Anyone would think that people have not experienced a summer in Australia before!! I have seen upwards of 48C in the Red Center, and even 45 here in Canberra and at Penrith... Be thankful that you don't live in a humid ***** hole like Darwin... Not only do you have to contend with the heat, but the humidity as well ( as well as it being an isolated, boring, and expensive city that needs to wiped off the map!!)

    I Agree Ryan
    If you like Darwin, Youre still living there. If you hated it, theres a fair chance you dont live there any more and it'll take a sowy winter in hell to move back there
