Wow!
Guess I should not complain about dogs.

Crocs are only a problem if you want to go swimming in the same water
they do or you are stupid enough to camp overnight close to the water
hole.

On a club trip decades ago, a "discussion" about camping near the
waterholee was finally settled when on the morning after, fresh croc
prints were discovered 50 yards from the waterhole in a direct line to
where our tens had been that night. Since the print spacing were broader
than any one shoulder, the point was never argued again.

Crocs(no swimming) and mosquitoes are the two major reasons to not go
touring in Northern Australia.

No mosquitoes in the south?

Some, but they tend not to swarm and give you a new shirt just after dark.
In northern Aus, you put on long clothing and liberally apply insect
repelant before dusk. And, the overwheliming sound you hear is mass
mossie buzzing.

Down south they tend to bred far less and the buzz is usually solitary.
One warm blooded person seems to provide protection for a group. VBG.

Righto, plus a lot of people don't realize just how fast a croc can run too.

As is often doted, one need not outrun a crocodile, just run
faster than the other guy.

The advice only works if crocodiles don't fixate on their target and are
happy to swap to a seemigly easier target mid run.

Some people are exceptionally attractive to mosquitoes. Supposedly, it can be
due to many factors: metabolism, diet, blood type, etc.

I'm one of those people, as my family well knows. As an example: I was once
working for a large local corporation that employed hundreds of engineers, most
of them seated in cubicles in a very large room, maybe 150 feet square. My desk
was dead center.

As I sat working one day, a mosquito landed on my arm. To reach me, she had to
fly past, oh, perhaps 100 other less tasty engineers. But she chose me.

There is no question that you are correct. I am seldom bitten by a
mosquito while my wife, at the same time and in the same place will be
bitten frequently.

As a bit of useless information only the female mosquito bites, the
male gets by on plant nectar.

It was just that I had thought that 3 hours and 45 minutes was a long
time to spend washing dishes. But you are correct that the manual
shows that as the most economic program.

That can be explained. When you have to wash something, to make sure
everything sticky is washed out, you can either use very hot water and
bush hard, or just put to dish inside warm water for a long time, until
every dirty bit softens and goes off easily. The equivalent for a
dishwasher is to use less powerful jets of warm water rather than
powerful jets of almost boiling water.
