I can’t even imagine leaving the beauty of the beach behind. The outback sounds like such a great idea until you actually contemplate how it really is there. Amazing that anyone calls that area home. thanks for your posts.

Hi Rob,
for flies we have a solution: we recently bought an insecticide made by 100%DDT, it is more expensive then a “normal one” but we dilute it with water or alcohol using only 15% of insecticide, one application last for at least 4 hours and for me the best insect repellent we used so far .

BCOT – I imagine flies are pretty bad anywhere hot in the world to be honest, be interesting to compare ‘fly badness of continents’ though :-)

Nancy – Thanks! I was lucky enough to avoid kangaroos on this trip, but there is plenty of dead ones lining the road

The photos, thanks for sharing. I’ve heard the flies in Australia are treacherous. I wonder how they compare to African flies? I have yet to visit either of these continents. Maybe this year…

Jenn – it’s quite common in Australia, and kangaroos can be big boys causing lots of damage!

Lis – Ha no, this isn’t a live trip, I’ve done it now, I spread my posts out to compensate for the boring periods when I’m not doing things that are interesting. Monday is the Nullarbor post ;-)

Thanks for comments everyone!

You got Interent access at Belladona to post this ??? I don’t think so LOL – having been there and even to the Eyre Bird observatory – infact we drove Perth/Adelaide last Xmas and even had mild temps (mid 20s) and rain on the plain!

Heading into the outback now? Stray kangaroos…Wow that’s a strange thought. Here we have to watch out for stray deers, cows, alligators, etc., but I can’t imagine what it must be like to run into a kangaroo crossing the road… o_O
