Just after a bit of an update on locusts.
have to bring a car back from
Brisbane to
Adelaide via
Broken Hill or south to
Mildura.
I know a month ago they were pretty thick wherever you went but wondering what the current status is.
thanks in advance.
David

I guess about 10 million of them are under my tyres or splattered on the bull bar after the other weekend ;-))

G'day Dave, Doesn't appear to be many arround here at the moment although I came back from
Adelaide last Thursday via
Morgan and they were thick around Mt Mary. It is easy to pick the cars passing through as they have plenty of Locusts splattered over the front of them
Cheers Dash

They were turned into pizza and eaten -
Delicious!
Jokes aside, hope you don't run into them, and feel free to stop by for a cuppa if you're going to be in town for more than a few minutes :)
