pegg Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hi all, So, weve not been here long , and we are not having a whinge …….. And im not sure if this has been spoken about before - if so …. im sorry. Anyhow - today was truly wonderful temp over 30 !!! YES ! But i seemed to have had a problem with flies trying to explore my nostrils , invade my ears and quite frankly abuse my eyes !!! Not having a whinge ( honest ) but if this is the first day of the bush fly invasion …… PLEASE, HOW LONG DOES THE INVASION LAST ???? Ive been told till the end of October …. then till December infact ive not had a real straight answer - unless the locals are used to flies ? So ,yep just putting it out there ) Sarcasm and humer always appreciated ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verystormy Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 They come in waves that normally last two to three weeks each wave. The time between waves varies a lot, some years we only experienced one, sometimes many as it depends on the wind direction. Basically, if you get strong winds from the east, you get a wave of them as they are blown in from the bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
