It's been fun in the Riverland and Mallee lately, with the area infested with a locust plague. Trucks have been pulling off the road from Mildura to clean windscreens, cars have been overheating, and nearly every vehicle has a lovely yellow/brown colour from locust guts!
The report on the news says the plague has gone as far as Melbourne, and will take another month to die down. There will be another problem later in spring when the locust eggs hatch...
Are there any locust problems or sightings in Adelaide? If you've had experience riding through them, how did you go? Are there any secrets to it? What's the best way of cleaning them off?
I've been avoiding the bad areas and sticking to town riding, and I just ordered a new helmet, so I'm not keen on getting covered in these filthy little buggars!
