Ross River at Freycinet

Postby WestcoastPete » Tue 18 Jan, 2022 9:21 am

We're planning an overnight hike with kids to Wineglass Bay. We've walked there a few times already with the kids and they love going there. At the start of the track there's signs mentioning Ross River virus being in the area.

What are your experiences with mozzies at the campsite at Wineglass Bay? We'll take repellant and appropriate clothes etc, and sleep in tents that seal up, but how worried should we be?
