Outback explorers like Ernest Giles and the Clavery expedition party gave up walking by day entirely during peak summer, traveling through the bush by the light of the moon to escape lethal heat. Laborers across logging, mining, and stockwork followed the same rhythm: hard labor at first light and dusk, then full rest at camp during midday. This wasn't laziness—it was the only way to function without air conditioning, refrigeration, or modern forecasting.
