PLUS...the Eucs (in Austrailia anyhow) often contain the deliciious Witchetty Grub. Yummy.

Here's an old camping trick:  Next time you dig in your communications
unker out in the field, build it under eucalyptus trees - no ticks....
For our Aussie friends: As Crocodile Dundee educated us: swimming in
ineral water in the bush is OK - no Crocs...!  (You guys are fun - hope to
ee you again!  And I want a DX QSL card from VK3 that I worked from Guard
ill with my PRC-6!!)  LOL

 I wonder if my pre-MRCG leg bites were from something other than a
 mosquito, then. I do stomp around on my property with my dogs sometimes, so
 maybe something attacked me out in the weeds. They sure itched like heck
 for several days. I didn't spend much time in the campground at MRCG this
 year, so maybe that's how I avoided a bug ambush there.
