    Faaark!

    I thought they were only just making their way I to northern NSW from QLD. This is super bad news.

    We can kiss hanging out at Yarra bend, Albert Park or any of the other amazing parks around the place if they make it here. 😭

    Yeah… ABC chose the scariest possible pictures for the fire ant stings.

    They’re painful but those are definitely people who have bad reactions.

    Unfortunately fire ants are in so many places around the world now.

    I hope Australia will be able to control the spread but it’s really hard to do.
