If you think your baby has a fever, it's important to know exactly what his temperature is, so you'll need a good digital thermometer. We'll help you choose one. (Get more details in our thermometer buying guide.) Regular multi-use digital thermometers are sold in drugstores for less than $10.
The Great Victoria is the largest desert in Australia and consists of many small sandhills, grassland plains, areas with a closely packed surface of pebbles (called desert pavement or gibber plains) and salt lakes.
Mark Shephard's excellent book, The Great Victoria Desert, is a mine of information on the Desert's natural history, traditional Aboriginal usage, European exploration, atomic tests, tracks and more. Unfortunately, the book is now out of print, but you may be able to get it from your library.
