Back in camp after dark, I often have to sit for awhile before I can face a meal, .... with mozzies buzzing and moths flapping and spiders crawling outside the mozzie dome (there are tens of thousands of these bugs). ..... Generally a couple of panadol feature somewhere during the day to prevent or end feelings of nausea or headache.

Some camps are nicer, though - or perhaps I should say that some days (in the middle of the year) are nicer.

Ben, hunting in the Top End from Sept 1, it starts to get hot, then later from Oct 1, stinking hot, then from Nov 1, unbearably hot and humid .....

And if in Nov, I can understand the comments re the middle of the day, especially if inland in the Katherine region. The hot baking sun and humid air, with no breeze ...

I only have done a late November banteng hunt, and thankfully it was on the coast on a peninsula with lots of water on most sides to cool things off, but inland ... I remember flying up and a bunch of Aussie Greek hunters were helding off to hunt near Katherine. Tougher bastards than me. We also shared the same flight back home.
