    Grasshoppers and the Hume.

    Need some info please guys.

    Travelling from Albury up the Hume and then turning off the Hume to go through to Adelong and Tumut this week.

    Will I be driving through plagues of grasshoppers?

    Thanks.

    I drove from Melb to Canberra two weeks ago and there were heaps of them along the Hume while in Vic - so many that they actually stuck to the insides of the wheels.

    I would imagine you will run into a few... Thousand. They were on the move big time today as it warmed up. Quite thick in between Charlton and Bendigo, but I hear that furthe west around Horsham was even worse, and with a couple more warm days on the way, they will continue to get worse.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Hoppers

    I have just drove the hume from the Wagga area to Sydney a couple of days ago, there were a few but not too bad on the Hume, but that could change ! They were very bad between Narandra and Wagga, and the very worst between Port Augusta and Renmark in SA and Mildura in Vic!
    Defenatly worth having a radiator net shield if you dont want to spemd hours washing them out !

    Cheers
