“We are hiding with the matted Flax-Lily. Is that a giant Growling Grass Frog, dad? Are there wombats around here? Hope the blue banded native bee finds the Matted Flax Lily to do buzz pollination.”

Merlynston station car park 54.2C temperature of black asphalt, white concrete 36.4C (I did get readings up to 40.2C) Ambient air temperature 33.2C at 1.5m height. Measurements at 3.40pm.
There are presently no trees to provide canopy shade for the shared use path. Canopy shade for the car park can also reduce vehicle emissions from air-conditioning when their occupants return to the vehicle and turn air conditioning up high to cool the vehicle. #urbanheat #emissions #merlynston #carpark
