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?

I'm a avid hiker from Hobart local born...when I go out hiking I use aueroguard fabric insect repellent garunteed to work...just keep thick clothes on at night etc those fear signs are to save pws *&%$#! if anything does happen to anyone and gets sick etc but hardly no1 here in Tassie gets sick so just spray up and Rugg up..hope that helps
