    G'day from Australia's east coast!

    I'm just at the start of experimenting with a hammock. Back yard experiments are positive. First overnighter will provide vital additional data! I live halfway between Sydney and Brisbane in one of the most beautiful regions you could imagine, so more time in the bush is in my plans.

    The hammock in the backyard is kid approved, judging from the pic!

    Don't you worry about snakes crawling down in your hammock with you. I am not from Australia but would like to visit someday, just afraid I would never leave, but that would be my biggest fear is the snakes

    Never seen a snake in our yard, but they're about the area. Mostly pythons though. Plenty of spiders, but our chickens take care of them.

    G'Day from Northwest Florida! I'll actually be in your neck-of-the-woods (bush) the middle of next month. Will be doing some work at Orchard Hills; about 1 hour outside of Sydney.

    Welcome to the forum, Youngster.
    Plenty of National Parks & campsites to explore between Sydney & Brissy....the cool season is coming, enjoy your first overnighter & stay warm.

    Mountain views are good for the soul....& getting to them is good for my waistline.
