Rats at Innamuncka?

Only if you don't like rats.

Hi
I would be very surprised that there would be many about.
On the farm here we had a heap of rats and mice about but the cold winter nights eventually quietened them down.
Hope you have a great trip.

Only just finished reading this articleRats

1st hand info from personal experience is the mice come up to you after dark and are always in your face and the rats were the same but always hidden russelling around in the bushes.
Dont let either of them enter your 4x4 by hanging cords or leaving objects near your car that they can climb or you will be finding open packets of everything like i did.

Zenonie,

I was camped on the Cooper at Innamincka about 4 weeks back and didn't have any worries at all. usual common sense things apply like being careful with food, no food in tents etc. Here's a thread on the subject from last week.

Mice/rats in the outback

Cheers and enjoy your trip.

zenonie,

I was at Innamincka two weeks ago and there were rats and mice there. A mate and I camped in our swags near some friends in a camper van. The rats and mice had a ball in the camper kitchen area but couldn't get into their sleeping area.

We had a few run around us and over us but it wasn't too bad. They got worse the longer we camped in the one spot. I think they had more rats and mice on the Common but I didn't hear too many people complaining.

We kept all our food etc. locked away from them at night and didn't have too many problems. They seemed to have a real fetish for our friends washing up detergent and left other food alone.

To sum up, they weren't a big deal. Mind you, when I had to get up in the night for a call of nature I made sure they couldn't sneak into my swag.

Regards,
Bob

Hi Zenonie, are you from Kilcowera? If so how are the rats down your way? I'm heading to Currawinya in a week or so.

Cheers
