What's on your work bench right now?

That brings back a memory from soon after I first arrived in the NT, a friend of mine said; remember to turn all your lights off after dark to keep them midgies out. They're built square so they can fit through the screens.
I moved to the mid nth coast and of course I started fishing and went to this spot on dusk in shorts and singlet I was told to go and pump yabbies for bait. I’m there pumping And I can’t see clearly so I clean my sunnies and put them back on and still blurry. As I take them off real slow I can see the midgees are so thick I could cut a path through them with my arm. Obviously it looked like I had measles for the next 3 weeks.
Every house I move into I change to midgee screen.

The only sand flies that cause me grief are the ones with a red spot / mark on them
And we only seem to get them in one area of Gladstone ....Calliope River / Curtis Island
