No word of a lie, about 5 years ago I went to Bourke in mid-summer (To my fellow Aussie, Yes I know I'm an idiot.)
Anyway, my hotel was across the road from Diggers (RSL) I decided to go for lunch, By the time I got across the road the rubber soles on my shoes turned liquid.
When I got there, they had a heap of Thongs (flip-flops) next to the door for people to use and a bin for all the melted shoes.
Never ever again.
