We came, we saw, we were conquered...
We got here at dark and immediately tried to put the tent up in a haze of mozzies. There was a huge toad beside our tent too and we got chewed rightly before we even had dinner. Met a nice couple from England who filled us in on the impending humidity and even more annoying bugs we were going to encounter as we travelled further north. Mozzie repellent is just not enough. You'd need to gas them all day and all night. We also learned that they used to turn the soil and sand all over the coastal areas of Australia to kill of the cyle of bugs being hatched. But eco activists began complaining about it affecting other animals and since then the bugs have worsened. Thanks a million yis jobless hippies... Not much to see or do in Tin Can Bay but we were to late to travel further.
