8 full time permanent employees that live there all year round, and at mustering time they bring in 3 helicopter pilots. They have a base breeding stock of 16,000 head but that can get up to over 60,000 head some years.
During summer you can expect many days to get up in to the high 40s, but being desert it does usually cool down a fair bit at night.
RMA considerations are the one thing that makes me cringe when ordering much of anything online. Where you have to inevitably "jump through all kinds of hoops" to return much of anything. Very stressful.
Around 120s Fahrenheit.
Sorry, I misread your question, I couldn't find a population for Scotty's Castle.
As far as I know it's a proprietary location and not a town per se. Though I suspect very few people reside there year around. A tourist attraction of sorts.
Very comparable. Death Valley has a higher record temperature than anywhere in Australia, but not by much.
Even down in Adelaide as a kid I remember the tar boiling in the street out the front of our house. My brother and I were happily playing popping the bubbles until Mum yelled at us and put us both in a bath and attacked us with a scrubbing brush.
This is an interesting map. I never thought there would be a map of mangos.
There's underground water there, the Great Artesian Basin. The trouble is that the water's hot, it comes out of the ground at around 80 degrees and they run it through a series of what looks like irrigation channels but it's really just to let the water cool down.
I forgot to mention the main reason for doing this - it's a tax write off. They can declare that they're committing so many hundreds of thousands of dollars to a marketing campaign but don't actually part with the money.
Finally, yes. It only took 13 days and a lot of whingeing.
I've been growing mangos for about 30 years, BUT I moved halfway through and had to start all over again. I have about a dozen trees, each a different variety. They ripen over a period of months which is better than them coming all at once.
It surprised me just how many different varieties and flavours there are. Here the most popular seems to be the Bowen, named after the region in Queensland where they were developed although it's also known as a Kingston Pride.
So I was purchasing a very expensive HIPAA compliant cloud storage for my business, which was thousands of dollars that had to be paid by the year in one lump sum. My business closed and I kept the account open until the end of my paid year to take care of loose ends and besides it was already paid for.
Kingston Pride is grown here, but it is a "late" variety and not one of my favorites.
This looked really weird to me the first time I saw it, every tree shaped like a perfect cube. Pruned and picked by machines. Not a lot of people like working out in the sun all day in Darwin and they always had a lot of trouble getting seasonal workers.
Water coming out of the ground at 80C, that's about 176F, which is hot enough to kill most living things. (I realize there are some thermophilic bacteria, fungi, etc.) So that is why it is called Alice Springs! There must be artesian springs there. Are there "hot pots" where people can soak in hot water. Obviously not as it is coming out of the ground, but down river from where the water comes up. We do that here in places that have thermal springs, such as in the Rocky Mountains.
That is weird. Here, stone fruits (peaches, etc) and grapes do not grow in the same areas as oranges. Oranges require no frost or freezes, whereas peach varieites require a certain number of "chill hours" which is temperatures under 40F. That is pushing it for oranges.
