Mice & Rats?

They were pretty bad around the centre last yr weren't they. We had mice running up the canvas walls and across the roof... none inside the camper/trailer thank god.

Hi

Dont worry about it - just do it. The trip will be more fun than a mouse or two could ruin. I suspect many of the previous tales related to the "plague" exagerate the actual issue for one reason or another.

Just came back from uluru, kings canyon, alice, oodnadatta track and a few others. Didn't see one rat. A few mice in uluru but nothing to fret about. No mice anywhere else.

Last year it was nuts with them.

We went up through Tibooburra, Cameron's, Innamincka, Birdsville, Boulia etc to the Gulf in July-August and saw only one rat at a dry creek when we stopped for a cuppa between Birdsville and Boulia. We camped and used cabins on the way. No hassles.

Go for it.

Thanks to those answering our question

maybe take a trap, some skewer sticks and lots of BBQ sauce...?

We had a few holes in the tent but were easily patched with duct tape.

We had a plague of rats at the bottom of the Selwyn Ranges last year but there have been none this year.

Guess we were lucky. When we went through Birdsville to Marree up to Lake Eyre and down to The Flinders then up to Innamincka we only saw one rat (water rat) and no mice.

Not even the two legged kind.
