The town of Birdsville hasn't had an afternoon under 41 degrees celsius (105 degrees) since Jan. 26, so it makes the perfect setting for a fry up. Just listen to that egg sizzle on the car's bonnet. Impressive.

In the inland town of Dalby, Queensland, there was another attempt to cook up an egg on the 68 degrees celsius (154 degrees) pavement.

45 minutes later, the egg was cooked, kinda. Let's just say it's not something you'd serve...or eat.
