Wowser! - And i thought that New South Wales is one of the more "habitable" areas of the Australian continent. How hot can it get in your place during the summer?

2018 it stayed above 40°C (including overnight) for 3 weeks straight at our last place, can get in high 40s to 50s (don't try tell the bureu of meterology that, mercury themometers are wrong!) Here we get low 40s. Moving to a place in mid 40s

How can you live there?
The highest temperatures i have experienced in my life was mid 40s (45° = 113F) in 2004 in Ad Dammam, Saudi Arabia in November. - The water in the hotel's swimming pool was cooled down to 28°.
Colleagues told me that during the summer it will be around 50° during the day and they park their vehicles as close to the house as possible to minimize the time they have to spend outside the AC.

It helps that I was born into the climate. But I have asked my german friends that married farmers here how they manage, apparently after freezing their feets off for many years, they will tolerate any heat to not have to put up with snow
