Near Kalbarri, finally, at the age of 27, I made the experience my brother went through at age 3. In the dark we arrived at "our" Rest-Area an, got our folding chair, and sat down, faces to the sea (the moon was shining). All of a sudden I had the feeling there is something at my feet. I grabbed down and really, there was something, felt like pollen.
I took them off. From time to time Ingo went "au!".

The strange feeling came back - it felt as if there was pollen all over my feet. So finally I went to fetch the Mag; thinking, "actually I don´t wanna know...", turned on the lamp - what a sight!

Socks and sandals BRIMFULL with huge green ants!! - We sat DIRECTLY upon their nest, me at least! If Ingo hadn´t helped me to get rid of socks and sandals I would have stumbeled to the see in panic!
Only difference to my brothers´ experience was, I didn´t sit with my butt in diapers and shorts but with my feet in them.

Next day we didn´t loose our pan from the roof of the car (like in ´95 after the washing up), but the solar shower... Since the van following went right over it - smashed. We went on direction Hamelin Pool , and the next day to the Stromatolites. There we met a bus driver who told us, oil with Dittol helps against mean Mossies and sandflies!

Now we´re back in Carnarvon at the Pelican Point, and had a shower. Ingo says: We´re on holidays now (another nice link) :

"How naive can one be?!" (Ingo) - Here in Carnarvon we found solar showers at the first go!
Let´s commemorate for a minute: Here in Carnarvon in '95 out of sheer despair the idea emerged, to put insect screening for a safer sleep onto the rear windows.
Annotation to the new solar shower: It´s got a better mechanism for closing - at least something good about the accident...
WOW! Besides the big Mossies there are huge moths here!

Just now there was an announcement about a missing person on radio -a man (male person) got lost in the Blue Mountains - talks with a strong french accent...
