Heatwave Hijinks

In the sweltering heat of the Outback near Birdsville, Shannon Jones and his mates Billo and Coops were called in to rescue a cattle station’s communications system after the main server overheated and failed. With temperatures soaring past 45°C, Shannon improvised a cooling rig using an esky full of ice and a fan, rerouted solar power, and revived the fried server with some expert soldering and bush ingenuity. The station’s network roared back to life, restoring vital systems and earning the crew a well-deserved feast. Just another day of high-stakes tech heroics for Shannon Jones, the Outback’s go-to IT legend.
