Thanks David. I was told a similar story from Sydney over the weekend. I
suspect the recent persistent westerlies have forced the migration
towards the coast, and it's even possible we'll miss out on much of a
Bogong migration through Canberra this year, sadly.
IF
(and apologies David for double-sending; I initially sent it to you
instead of the line)

In Sydney for the last few days - Sydney CBD had a huge and spectacular
influx of Bogongs on Weds, with the arrival of that hot northerly.
Yesturday many window stills and other shady cracks of Sydney CBD
buildings are carpeted with the moths. Many will find thier way into
the air conditionaing systems in search of a shady place, with a
resultant rise in repiratory complaints in the next few weeks - moth
scales are very allergenic, not the mention a food for other pests such
as rodents and other insects such as Dermestid beetles.
