    Melbourne outskirts semi rural. (acreage)

    Born here.

    Never want to live in the UK. Went there when I was very young as my late Mum was English and visiting relatives. I love the Oz climate and lifestyle.

  2. i always wondered about that...are the coils particularly toxic? In what way?

     

    Mozzie coil info.

    Several hazards are known to be caused by mosquito coils. In 1999, sparks from mosquito coils ignited a fire that swept through a three-story dormitory building at a summer camp in South Korea; 23 people, including 19 children, died in the blaze.[7] Recent studies showed that the smoke generated from a burning mosquito coil is of certain health concerns – one burning mosquito coil produces the same amount of particulate mass (diameter up to 2.5 μm) as 75-137 burning cigarettes would; and the emission of formaldehyde from one burning coil can be as high as that released from 51 burning cigarettes
