I couldn't live in Mandurah - mozzies - British Expats Australia

**Worzel** · 29-09-2008, 07:15 PM

I just got back from a great weekend away camping with mates in Mandurah. Mandurah is a nice enough place, though too far to commute to the CBD IMHO. Its a great place to take the boats with a choice of going out to sea, zooming across the Peel Inlet or tootling up the river to Sandy Cove, beach mooring and eating fish and chips with a few beers from the pub.

But the fookin' mozzies!!

We got through 3 tins of Aerogard and still got bitten to death. I even got one bite on the arse even though I wore jeans the whole weekend, even in bed as it was a bit chilly. The bastard things can bite through two layers of clothes. Sam has 20 bites on one thigh alone.

I thought it was 50?

PS Just checked and it is exactly 50. Including getting to and from the station that is something like 80 minutes each way! We are 25 mins on the train here which is almost an hour door to door and plenty long enough.

Hiding

I was thinking back to UK time where last orders was 11pm + 20 minutes drinking up time and a 20 minute walk home, yet somehow I used to get home at 1am. Where did that missing hour+ go??
