G'day adventurers! Here I am, 80 days into this wild escapade, proving that even the bush’s tiniest terrors – mozzies – are no match for Whoop Whoop Walk About survival skills. As your resident bush guru, I’ll teach you how to keep those little bloodsuckers at bay with the power of Aussie plants.
Nature’s Mozzie-Repellent: Lemon Scented Gum
First up, meet your new best mate, Lemon Scented Gum (Corymbia citriodora). Mozzies hate it, but you’ll smell like a summer breeze!
Here’s how to whip up your own mozzie-banishing lotion:
Grab a handful of leaves. Crush them to release the oils (the bush equivalent of a fancy essential oil spa).
Boil the crushed leaves in water for about 10 minutes. Let it cool.
Mix the cooled infusion with some natural beeswax and coconut oil to make a creamy lotion.
Slap it on and enjoy mozzie-free bliss!
Pro Tip: Got no time for DIY? Just rub the crushed leaves directly on your skin – you’ll be mozzie-proof and smell like you just walked out of a rainforest.
When All Else Fails: Smoke 'Em Out
If the mozzies still don’t take the hint, build a fire and chuck in some green leaves. The smoke sends them packing quicker than a lost tourist at sunset.
Bush Bloopers Alert!
Careful not to slap on the wrong leaves! A mate of mine once grabbed a random plant, and let’s just say… itchy rash cream doesn’t grow on trees. Always double-check with your trusty Whoop Whoop guide (that’s me!) before you get slap-happy.
