Hurdle Gully

It's not a long drive in but care must be taken. We had been here before but we enjoyed the drive in.

As I was driving I noticed what looked like rope right across the road. As we got closer I realized it was itchy grubs. They move along in procession, nose to tail. This group was about 6 meters long from one side of the road to the other.

"These so called ‘itchy grubs’, are the caterpillars of the bag-shelter moth, Orchragaster lunifer. They are common Australian insects."
