DY Strawbridge. Yeah, we have no rabies here in Australia, but we do have that bat virus and four people have died from it in the past. This recent death was in Ballina, which is sort of what I consider my hometown. It's in northern New South Wales. Apparently the bat flew up onto the veranda. He was trying to get away from it and it didn't. But when I lived up there, the biggest flying fox area was mango trees. My neighbor had a mango tree and it was solid flying fox. So there's a lot of the flying foxes up there and many of them are infected with this virus. So that's about what I know. VK2DY, back to you.
