Don't worry about the drop bears as these are easily repelled by smearing yourself liberally in vegemite. This is an old trick used widely in the outback.
Also, it's surprising no-one has mentioned wedge-tailed eagles. If you're 6 foot, 100kg, and have a rack of cams to fight them off you'll be OK (hexs work well too BTW), but if you're a 4'2" 45kg sport climber you will have trouble. Smaller sportos have been known to be plucked off cliffs and taken back to feed wedge tailed young (if you come across a wedge-tail nest you'll often see half digested quickdraws in their 'scats'). The eagle problem is the main reason why weedy sport climbers spend most of their time under overnahangs and roofs in Oz...hiding.
Have fun! |
