Heatwave in photos: Australians seek reprieve as country swelters through extreme heat
Updated
It's hot, and residents in some parts of the country are doing everything they can to escape the heat.
A heatwave has brought extreme temperatures to much of the east coast and conditions are expected to worsen across the weekend.
Here's some of the best photos of how Aussies are keeping cool:
"Tried and tested for generations of Australian kids."
"Heading home from work, came across this thirsty fella searching for water."
"Got my pool lounge and some cool drinks, sushi for dinner and will stay till sunset."
"The ocean running through my toes after a long walk — the best feeling."
"Water temp is perfect."
"Monty doesn't mind the ol' spray bottle and fan method."
