The biggest problem with this heat is that the snakes are looking for shelter and we're seeing a lot more of them around the house this year, which is a concern as we don't want our dogs to be bitten.
The other problem is the kangaroos are more active at night which is a hazard on the road, between here and the next major town I hit 2 kangaroos on Tuesday night and narrowly missed a few others. We try to avoid driving at night around here, but sometimes it's unavoidable.
Water is the other issue, unless you have a good set of big tanks you might be running low. We have three massive tanks in our water system so no worries there.

It's all nice and cheap to live out there but you need to be a special breed to cope with the summers. Not for this white kiwi lad... stays nice and safe on the lower Northshore.
