Spot on about the salt, but we do have to cross salt lakes (hate that!) which are slippery and corrosive. Where the critters go, we go. But that's completely different from being semi-immersed in the sh * t like you are.
Our temp extremes are from as low as -2C or -3C (though it was -7.5C in Yunta last night) to +49C. The latter is the hottest (officially reported) day my TTR has suffered so far
, though ones in the mid-forties are all too common. Having said that, I think extreme cold like yours
(shudder) is much harder on componentry than extreme ambient heat.
