A tick today - in Canberra! The person upon whom the tick lodged had not been near the bush. The tick has been removed with a chemist-bought freeze-spray tick remover.

Agree. I've never seen a tick in Canberra before? But I do know that, to my surprise, they are in Braidwood, and even when I try to protect myself with DEET (as little on my skin as possible), I get ticks on the coast.
