Not to mention leeches. I made the mistake of having an afternoon kip on a poncho in Sarawak. It is amazing where the little devils can get. I have heard of a birder visiting Sabah who managed to get one up his nose, doing the same thing.

Yes, ants can be terrible, so too are those huge centipedes.

I woke up once near Kings Canyon to find myself surrounded by millions of
ants!

They'll get you wherever you sleep. What about the big spiders that come
out at night in the donga ??  Munch munch.

Hello All
With all things going to plan, I soon plan to be travelling north up
through
the Birdsville Track and and then on to Mt. Isa. My only concern is the rats. Has anyone had any recent bad experiences with inland rats in that region? Are they, along with mice, in such numbers that they might start chewing upon just about anything? I plan to be sleeping on the ground in
my
swag for the few days through that area and the idea of them gnawing at my
toes whilst trying to sleep does not fill me with joy.
Regards,Michael
