Meanwhile, Google Maps has reminded me that the swamp is officially
called the Hunter Wetlands National Park. It's a largish swamp,
stretching from Hexham to some of the suburbs of Newcastle, and
including much of Kooragang Island, a large island that separates the
Hunter River into two arms.
 
Newcastle University is adjacent to the swamp, and the engineering
complex is the most adjacent of all. When we first moved to that campus
the Hexham Greys, a large species of mosquito, were a major pest. Some
years later their numbers went down, possibly because of drought. A
dozen or so years ago I had a house only a short block from the swamp. I
didn't have a mosquito problem, but I did have to watch out for snakes.

I watched a tv program about moose in Sweden. A huge swarm of mosquitoes
can actually kill a grown up moose because they stress it so much that
it can't eat or drink properly, and it also gets tired of course.
