11C at 8.11AM Winter in Western Australia
Mostly sunny with a smattering of cloud, but no sign of rain.

Would this be a normal winter day there?

No, houses in my state do not have furnances, wood stove and very few have fireplace. Our state is being the sunshine state and summer is very hot. Houses here are build to overcome the summer heat..thus it call the Queenslander.

I do have an oil heater and reverse cycle aircond, but these are not central heating, they are only in 1 room. So I wear layers of clothes, constantly drinking warm water and move about more so to keep warm.

Interesting!

I always find it interesting to see how people deal with heat or cold weather. Thanks for sharing.

As wildfires continue to burn from northwest Ontario to British Columbia, Canada is getting help from near and far, and very far.

Southern Highlands – New South Wales Rural Fire Service in Australia says a 96-personnel-strong Australian contingent of firefighters and specialists have deployed to Canada for five weeks.

The service says the deployment is in response to a request from the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says in a tweet that, “When our mates need help, Australia is there.”

In short:​

Dry soil has led to the slower growth of mushrooms on SA's Limestone Coast.

Tours showing glowing ghost mushrooms have not been able to run due to a lack of concentrated growth.

What's next?​

There are hopes recent rains will promote growth, but climate change is expected to have an impact in the long term.

So far this year, even she has yet to find enough of the mushrooms to take groups through.

"I've found small patches [but] not enough that I would normally like to run a tour," Ms Dawson said.

"The key thing is they're just not glowing."

Local photographer Steve Chapple said he had also noticed a slow start to the mushroom season.

"There's been a fairly significant lack of rain for everybody," he said.
