So how do these hardy Marble Bar locals survive the hottest time in the 'hottest town in Australia'?
1 Jan 2022
Of all the places in the world to live, some people have chosen to make their home in the "hottest town in Australia", the dusty desert outpost of Marble Bar.
Despite an extreme heatwave that threatened to push the maximum temperature to 50 degrees Celsius this month, the West Australian town fell just shy of cracking the country's hottest December temperature record.
Marble Bar earned the title of Australia's hottest town when it recorded the longest heatwave — 160 days over 37.7 degrees — in 1923 and 1924.
It is still listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

AS WA sweats through a heatwave and prepares for a 50C day, the residents of one town are wondering what all the fuss is about.

I must admit I have worked at Nyngan when they had over 50 degrees three days in a row and it was 2 degrees first thing in the morning.
Walked to work in overalls and a Bluey and was back to thongs and shorts by 10:00
Now that was a bit had to deal with!
The following winter the place was under water. (literally)
