An old westerner was discussing the hottest places he had struck. Bourke and Byrock, he admitted, often broke the record for \u201cnifter\u201d temperatures.<\/div>\n
He had seen crows and eaglehawks fall lifeless from the trees when the thermometer reached 118 in those places.<\/div>\n
He had seen icecream \u201crun\u201d liquid when extracted from the drum.<\/div>\n
He had heard old hands say that Bourke might not be much of a place to live in, but it could give \u2019em all a start when it came to a matter of gloating over records.<\/div>\n
But for continuity, he added, Coonamble takes the bun. When the mercury at Bourke, during a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

heat-wave, ran up to 118 or 120. Coonamble was hot quite so fast.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It was content to ascend to about the 110 level\u2014 and remain there for a week or 10 days. Bourke, with its record one-day stunt, dropped down from 120 to 106, and 108. \u201cThat\u2019s heat with a double vengeance,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cBourke leads the way for a day, or two. But if you ask me where one would find a good old con-<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

sistent plugger, without pretensions to spasmodic splashes. I recommend Goonamble.<\/div>\n
When, it comes to a matter of continuity, Coonamble can wink an eye at Bourke, and look none the worse for it, either.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
