One in the same...as far as I'm concerned.....squonk on the other hand is pre-bigfoot to the European explorers.....hmmmmmm...kinda like your homeland....coincidence?
What a busy day of cleaning (house), brewing, fighting another heat-induced invasion of Argentine (non-native) ants, cleaning, and drinking good beer. As usual, I cleaned the stove before brewing, and it is still spotless! Time to make some dinner.
Bunyips are Aboriginal mythology so yup pretty much similar.
You need @Trialben to visit. Here's a tip: ask for their passport. They'll leave quickly.
Oh yeah Argentine Ants their on the Import List here in Aus along with yellow Crazy ant and Fire Ant.
Were fighting a loosing battle though...
Don’t want to mess with fire ants, they burn.
I havnt met them yet and I don't want to we got some in Ipswich South of here that we've been trying to eradicate for over a decade it sounds to me like fire Ants are winning. If we find fire Ants in Aus it's reported strait to the Gov local pesties ain't even alowd to treat em.
We don't want them becoming the next "cane toad" they've really F@&ked things up over here
So you were up on gravity a bit that's a hefty starting gravity 1.066?
Actually, 1.068 when corrected for temperature. Going forward, I need to adjust my brewhouse efficiency upward, like around 80%. That might help bring things better in line, as my recent brews have gone above projection for starting gravity (OG).
And the yeast are happily doing their work. The airlock is bubbling away. My fermentation closet has a wonderful aroma of citrus.

I love how you brew all kinds of what I would call "off the wall" style beers.
