I always new that all cr@p came from NSW

Well all I can say KSV is that you must have more of what attracts them down there than we do up here.....LOL

Yes well up here in Forbes we don't have em, must be all in Melbourne where there is more buldust to attract em.

On a more serious note, I have been told by an agronomist that the Dung Beetles don't breed in very dry weather so their population has reduced and they aren't breaking up all the cow pats. So the flies are having a great time.

You see, that is main reason, why we all should eat kangaroo meat. If you never taste it, you can buy it these days in Woolworth or Coles marinated with spices is very very nice, lot better taste than beef. And burgers from mince? YUMMMMMM

It's probably true for the humans as well, migrating from the colony of NSW to VIC all those years ago ;-))

bAZ.

Just make sure that you look after our flies while they're visiting in mexico. OK!

Hi KSV,
The success story (well, partial success) in the West was the introduction of the dung beetle about 30 years ago, which has had a noticeable impact on flies. A latency in breeding usually meant that the flies started breeding in spring, whereas the beetles were not active till late spring or early summer, so spring meant lots of flies, but summer was a lot more pleasant.
But recent Govt policy, I understand, has meant a reduction in dung beetles. Apparently, they are not all that self-sustaining, and require "topping-up" with an ongoing breeding program. Funds for this program has been cut in recent years.
