Acclimatization counts for more than most people think.
Last wee the day after 43C, 33C seamed quite comfortable. But long term effects are much better at setting the body for a climate. Typical Darwin temperatures are 32C, long term residents put jumpers on at 25C, you can imagine the problems they have with air conditioners.

You can loop back over the Blowhard Spur for a different way home.

Damn, had to read that twice...
I've decided to head out lake eildon way, find some route for a day walk but have a base near the water to cool off...

Not a bad idea. Did the reverse direction a couple years ago, stayed at mountaineer creek camp spot. I was considering the delatite arm reserve (other side of lake purely because haven't been before)
