Introduce yourself, talk about beer, crocs, headlines, dugongs or Paris Hilton.

Probably doesn't apply to Shady Camp :D

Any older southerners on here noticed local declines over the past two decades?

Yeah, pretty sure that doesn't include any waterway up here. I find that the Daly is far worse for insects than Shady Camp. Although I do remember one night up Tommycut when I made a mad dash for open ocean. Hitting your arm and kiling about 20 mozzies is not fun

That's the beauty of the NT, still a healthy ecosystem.
