International Whistle Codes

International Whistle Codes

●Three blasts of the whistle is an international distress call, which is loosely translated to “Help me!”
●Two blasts of the whistle is a call-back signal which means “Come here.”
●One blast can mean “Where are you?” or it can be a call-back signal if you hear anything that sounds like a code.

Each whistle blast should last 3 seconds.
No matter who you are, all people going bush should a have a squeal whistle with them.

There are five genus of snakes that will harm us (seriously) Browns, Blacks, Adders, Tigers and Taipans. All snake venom is made up of huge proteins (like egg white). When bitten, a snake injects some venom into the meat of your limb (NOT into your blood). This venom can not be absorbed into the blood stream from the bite site. It travels in a fluid transport system in your body called the lymphatic system (not the blood stream). Now this fluid (lymph) is moved differently to blood. Your hea...
