In November 2010 near Denham, WA (Shark Bay), I observed a male Emu with
eight chicks approach a salt lake near the ocean and bathe up to the belly,
the chicks, however, stayed out of the water.

The funny thing was that although the days were hot (up to 35), this was
very early in the morning when the heat wasn't a problem. Perhaps it did
have something to do with getting rid of parasites.
