Sometimes when you are camping, expect to have visits from insects, bugs, birds, spiders etc.
This cheeky little bloke was looking for a place to hide after being disturbed by some kids in the bush not far from us. The poor little fella shed at least two skins when my big bad bully of a wife let out a yelp that could of been heard in Tasmania. This 5 foot long green tree snake came under our camper trailer and popped his head around the corner of the esky (2 ft from where my wife was sitting) looking for a place to hide.
Just about to jump into my next Patrol. A 2001 GU II TB45E .
WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

Nice one Megomonster! Doesn't look like she has been able to frighten the life out of him like my family would do.
Cheers,

The funniest encounter with animals in camp, was in an N.P. in Tassie, over 20 years ago. The family camping next to us went for a walk at around midday. We were eating lunch in our rented camper and witnessed a stealth attack. I swear the local brush tail-possums had been trained by a SWAT team. In broad daylight, a big possum strolled down the row of tents and checked each zipper. He found it easy to open our neighbours tent. He let out a shriek and a half a dozen possums appeared from nowhere. They all dived into the tent and started tearing into the food stuff and bedding. They were in and out within a couple of minutes but they had created a mess of tattered sleeping bags, food packaging, and had also left wee and poo everywhere.

That would be horrible to return to, especially isolated out in the middle of nowhere.

Had this bloke in camp up on the Murray I'm saying 6 foot ,was feeding on our discarded carp
Calling it as a lace monitor but happy to be corrected. This same place on Black Saturday saw Koalas walk straight through the camp down to the water.
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Happened to me on Kangaroo island on a school camp but skippy and his mates got into our tent and stole lollies!
On school camp at the prom we made trails out of Shapes into the teachers tent and a wombat ate his way into the tent during the night Fark that was funny
