Hi All
We do most of our hiking in Western Australia, with two kids who tend to occupy places cosy enough for kangaroos (and their accompanying ticks). We usually pack a small cylinder of freeze-off wart spray to blast ticks before tweezering them out. The freeze-off has proved to be an essential part of the first aid kit!
But I'm not sure if we'll encounter ticks on our upcoming Overland Track hike; starting next weekend.
Are ticks a problem?
Thanks in advance,
Zoe
