OK you Aussies enjoy your night on the town. Us North Americans will hold down the fort!

Having a fire, or any kind of propane tank is a novel idea here...

Seriously? Is that because of lacks of wood and gas?

We'll see what we can do.

Pretty simple -
Different climate = Different solutions.
If Sydney doesn't drop under 40 why have a fireplace or tank of a highly flammable liquid??

Not to say there aren't people with fires. There are some. But they are so RARELY used it. Even in the colder areas you wouldn't use it more than 2 months of the year.

The expectations of Australians I know at ANY hotel is AC or at least ceiling fans. It drives me bonkers how overheated places are just because they are a cold area. I shouldn't be sweating in a short sleeved clothes when it's sub zero outside.....with NO method of cooling the room...

We'll see what we can do.

Not much by the look of it...

Very hot, stay hydrated. You will find people who sell bottled water on the streets everywhere. Wear comfy shoes. And remember nothing is as close as it appears. The duece bus runs 24/7 and is 7 dollars for a 24 hr period and even goes down to freemont st. I take the bus system while there. Have a great time today!

Some places in Elk Grove has the propane in place of the gas. It use to be a very rural area. It took a long time before anything was built there. Just open land. When we moved out there it was at a crazy building spree. And when the market tanked, sadly so did Elk Grove. They were starting to put in a mall and sadly now it sits as structure.

New scavenger hunt?

If you like bacon and chocolate, inside Ceacars , inside through the front door of it there is a store that sells chocolate and bacon candy. YUMMY!!

I can understand that.

But with gas, it doesn't answer the question.

Like Usnuz is saying people have propane tanks rurally. Cities have gas lines.

About 60 years ago homes had to be converted from coal, wether it was for heating or cooking. More or less times changed and you couldn't find local coal deliveries.

So things became electric, and a cheap alternative was gas.

Now gas is really cheap because the US is a giant net exporter. I'm guessing Oz always needed to import it and it's always been expensive there.

99 is hot for anyone!

Don't forget you can also order bottled water as a "drink" at a Casino, in case you have too many cocktails.

I used to live in Placerville and it was a minors shack, I used to have to put the propane tank in the car and take it somewhere to get it filled.

 

[franandaj]

The only thing I've used propane for is my grill or camping stove.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Having propane , you feel like some kind of pioneer. How are you? How is Fran doing?
