Yes... it's still stinking hot! So we've been hanging out at local "waterholes", in an effort to keep cool ~ and have loads of fun!
First few pics are from a local Swim Centre, with a waterslide.
Next few are at a friend's pool.
Then we're on excursion with Miss M's class, to Warrawong Sanctuary. The kids got to hold a few lizards, pat a possum and snake (ewww!) and we went for a 1 hour walk through the huge native park... in the 40 degreeC heat (104F)!!! Nice. And I was very lucky and got to carry an 11 year old girl up an enormous hill, because she was on crutches, got down the bottom, but couldn't get back up. Lucky me.
The beach pics were taken last night. It was still about 36 degreesC (96F) after dinner, so we took the kids and Chewy to the beach for an hour. It was absolutely beautiful. The water was lovely. The temperature was just perfect. All up, we all had a splendid time!
There is no end in sight, from this heat wave. It's the longest heat wave, for this time of year, ever recorded. It hasn't dropped under 36 degreesC (96F) for 2 weeks (except at night!) ~ most days have been around 38+ (101F)!!!

Chewy looks amazingly like a small dog I grew up. My mom loved that dog! His breed was a "rat terrier" best I recall.
Nice pics. Hope it cools for you all soon...
peace

Great pics....
It looks so nice to swim in! I am envying those kids in the pool, but not envying the heat wave. I don't like it THAT hot!
I am looking so forward to some of that hot stuff here....remind me when I am all grouchy about it ;0)
Fun stuff!

Great pics! Yah, 104 is a little too hot, but at least you have those wonderful watering holes! The kids look great and I love the one of you on the beach.
I'm glad you've got a place to go and cool off!
Looks like great fun and makes me long for some warm weather very soon.
