Crikey! Over here the scariest thing in the forest is me, with the possible
exception of magpies in nesting season (which starts next month. Gulp!)

Give you a tip, if you ever go campng in Northern Australia, do not camp
near water. Make it a few hundred metres away.

Rather unpopular one bicycle trip when I insisted.
NO arguments the next morning from anyone in the group. It was a big
******* that left tracks right where they wanted to camp.
