Default Watch out its Cup Moth Lava season in VIc

These SOB are active now in Victoria, friggen sting hurts. They seem to like broader leaf gums types eg QLD box Fica etc.
Its like being hit by voltage then it hurts and always on ya soft bits eg fore arm, face neck as you handle brush or climb though canopy
Best pain relief is ice, the fozen Sunny Boy treatment.
