Final line says it all, really.

"But whichever turn out to be at work, the research seems to suggest that we have met the invaders, and they are not brown snot-causing Didymo diatoms. They are us."

Any quarantine officer at the airport would only be to happy to clean any gear that has come in contact with fresh water overseas. Free of charge. Australia is didymo free and we want to keep it that way.

Declare it to quarantine any fishing, kayak or water sport gear.
