Where there is still coastal bush and heath left in Manly today there were huge clouds of bogong moths (Agrotis infusa). Flying at dusk in high winds in a very directed way, tanking up especially on the flowers of the coastal tea-tree (Leptospermum laevigatum). Their migration path of some 1000 km each year has been going on forever. Before they contained arsenic they made good tucker.
