(this was a few years ago,,you can stick the hot weather now ).
Dont even get me started on old shearing sheds
Did a 4x4 desert safari in Egypt in 2009. 2 weeks of camping on the sand or living in clay huts with doors.

Landcruiser troop carrier, 5 in the back and no AC.

Was a little warm... was wondering if this was going to blow as well!



And loved every minute of it.... funny, the heat didn't feel as bad as here, even though it was much higher.

You have a cooling issue. I'd suggest your water pump is cactus and or thermostat is stuck shut.

Has been hot and humid in ACT the last couple of days and then it's rained very afternoon/evening - reminds me of Qld; sorry, I meant Neptune, but the state formerly known as Qld.
