Hi Andrew,
You are absolutely right and it was advice that I meant to add.
Duncan mentioned Alice Springs and as soon as I think Alice Springs I think
of the West Macdonnell's. But the flies there can be something else at times!
They seek out every bit of moisture, get in the corners of your mouth and
eyes and entirely cover your back from where you have been sweating.
Then come nightfall, you would think they would pack it in, but many still persist
for hours after sunset.
They seem to be even worse in parts of the West Kimberley.
