No help at all, Mark. Will certainly not let you know how I don't get on.

G'day Carl,
To not tick them, then don't go to Wakehurst Pkwy and search the undergrowth
from the Deep Creek bridge up towards the Sports Academy.
And to not tick the second population which is best seen at evenings around
dusk and with some Brush Turkeys, then don't head down Morgan Rd @ Oxford
Falls and don't look for them near the satellite dishes near the small
narrow bridge.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mark
