    I'm sure he will be an English (known as OurMate here) marmite eater. NZ marmite tastes nothing like it and vegemite is really bland in comparison.

    I think the only way Marmite is going to help in protecting against sandflies,is if he Coates himself with it.

    Well worth a try

    the glueten free version..works even better....the sandflies dont like biting people who have eaten it..... not sure what vitamin it is thats in these yeast extracts they dont like..but they dont like it.... was sceptical but nope it works...last trip to coast I didnt consume any prior and became "the sacrificial being" while rest of family were fine..normally the other way around.

    Dad used to mix up Detol and Kerosene, that used to scare them off.

    Anyhow I am not sure if old mate should venture to far into the Bush to be honest. He might be better off in an area with considerable open country with maybe a few pockets of Bush he can camp in at night?

    Arthur's pass might be good for him.

    Thanks for the replies everyone, some good suggestions there and some which match up with my own research which is what I'd hoped for. I wasn't aware you had Zebra and Giraffe over there, tempting, but I'd be worried about an arrow deflecting off the bars and getting me into trouble if it hit someone!
