Chambers Pillar & Mice

Was there a week prior to easter & there were quite a few mice there then. At night they were running up the sides of our tent. It was more amusing than it was a problem. Stiill a great place to visit.
Just a note there were also a lot of mice & rats at Haillgan Bay on lake Eyre.
I guess all the rain has brought them out.

I don't think they would be mice as such. More likely

We are being hammered by the mice here in Wagga at the moment, and it is set to get worse in the next few weeks. They have caused $45,000 damage to our studios so far. We're catching 15 or so a night - would be more but we need more traps.

It's a nightmare out and about in Victoria too. We have a stop over in the Sunset Country Park, at the Pink Lakes but ended up packing up at midnight and heading home. They were through everything!

Probably would've stuck it out to morning if we'd been further away from home!

we have just come across NSW, up through SA (Flinders Ranges) The centre including Ularu, Alice and up to Darwin and as far north as Tennant Creek we saw mouse plauges all the way, further north I think the record wet has stopped them getting out of hand IMHO.

We camped at Henbury Meteorite craters last week between Stuarts Well and Erldunda and the just on dark the ground was thick with them.

Had them scurrying over the swags all night.

Made for a camp I wont forget in a hurry

Went out to Chambers Pillar today (5th May). We would have been lucky to have seen 20 mice and that includes the ones running across the road between Alice and the Pillar. They must have moved camp.

Stayed in the shearers quarters in Gundabooka NP. Plenty of mice.
Now staying at cabins just out of Broken Hill. Same thing.
