    Dougie these Guys are very likely correct and so was Toby. Onga onga is a stinging nettle. There are a few different types and they all burn like crazy when the tiny hairs penetrate the skin. Too much of it can have dire consequences. You can guarantee when in the bush that if you jump across a stream and reach out to grab a hold of something to steady yourself that it will be Onga onga that you grab. Prick of a stuff.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    And if the nettles are there waiting for you the bush lawyer will be. At least that just leads to 5mins of swearing.
