No where near hot enuff for a WOLO.... don't know about that area  but on
the North Coast Wolo's are issued automatically by computer via temp
detctors along the track.. in the old days wolo's were issued by track
supervisors.. he may put one on at say midday and have it run thru till
8.00pm.... southerley change arrives at 2.30pm  temp falls to 20 degrees but
the wolo stayed in place... because the track super had knocked off for the
day... the guy who put it on had to take it off...now when the temp falls
the computer issues another wire cancelling the wolo..

People for this mornings NT3 x ST2 were bussed from Picton to Taree

Cheers
