Ute beauty! TV star Larry Emdur creates a makeshift pool in the pick-up tray of his utility vehicle during Sydney’s scorching heatwave
Larry Emdur is one of the most playful presenters on Australian TV.
And on Saturday, the 55-year-old showcased his sense of humour yet again as he braved Sydney and New South Wales’ heatwave.
Seven’s Morning Show host showed fans how he was cooling off in an ingenious, makeshift pool in the tray of his ute.

‘A Ute-pool in a heatwave ??! Hell Yehh !!!! Would’ve been unAustralyan not too #survivor #utepool,’ Larry cheekily captioned his post.
Larry was seen holding a beer in celebration as he parked on a hill overlooking a bush scrub vista.

‘You really have spent way too much time reporting on the Gympie Muster,’ Larry’s co-host, Kylie Gillies, wrote.
Former Bachelor Tim Robards wrote: ‘Yes!!! You’re a genius!!’.
Ute pools have been much-celebrated on social media, but some manufacturers have cautioned against the practice, warning the density of water makes it much heavier than timber and other materials, such as crushed asphalt.

Meanwhile, Sylvie revealed Larry’s positivity and optimistic attitude has mean their relationship hasn’t caused major problems.
‘You never know what you’re going to get with him but it’s always spontaneous and fun. We’re very lovey-dovey,’ she said.
