Hey Goldflower, very nice indeed. A question if I may, do you always camp under hardwood trees as I thought they were dangerous for falling limbs?
Cheers

Just have to look up Mackka, if no dead limbs above you no worries.
If only it was that simple! Are you not aware that eucalypts drop perfectly healthy-looking branches from time to time? From my personal experience (local Perth parkland and ownership of 500 acre bush block in southwest WA), they usually fall without any warning in still, hot weather, rather than during storms, although a strong wind can bring them down too. Take care, mate - they're not called "widow-makers" for nothing.
