The National Fire Ant Program Website https://www.fireants.org.au describes the dangers of Fire Ants in South East Queensland, the area traversed by NT Section 6. Camping on Fire Ant infested ground is a very painful experience and upsetting for animals. The Trail, North to South, from Mt Sylvia to Lake Moogerah Road south of the Cunningham Highway (Maps 11-15) passes through infested area Biosecurity Zone 1. Separately, the risk of spreading Fire Ants transported in hay is of particular concern and is the subject of strict regulation.
