Yep landed bout 18 hours ago...customs was interesting....between being on a farm in the last 30 days and a pack full of hunting gear i spent alot of time chatting with them.....crashed for about 13 hours to recharge my batteries as i was intentially [bleep] with my sleep cycle on the way over and it seems to have worked..woke up this morning with zero jet lag..

Now Troy is showing me videos of the one critter i truly need to worry about and it aint a snake or any chit like that.....its a bull ant....SOB is about an inch long with a sting thats off the charts on the pain scale..

That be it....took a drive in the hills today to stretch my legs a bit and due to the fact Troy knew where to find some carnivorous plants within a short drive....so i got so pics and got warnings here and there about where he has seen the ants in the past

It is my understanding that if one of those ant's get you the Hospital is in your future, is that true? What you said about jet lag I found to be true get up with the natives and every thing is ok but could never beat it coming home, so we shall see with you. Cheers NC

I was thinking the same thing, Maybe he is out working at that service station the Aussie boys had lined up for rattler.
