DAISY CHAIN NETWORK
Connect to the 5 people nearest you. Each person links to their 5 nearest — creating a safety network across the whole group. If anyone goes silent, the alarm travels through the chain.

⚠️ If you go quiet
There's no automatic monitoring — this app can't notice you've gone silent on its own. Pick the instruction below to include in every check-in, so your chain knows what to do if they stop hearing from you.
No extra instruction — my chain will use their judgement
If I miss a check-in, chain members should contact each other and try to reach me
If I miss 3 check-ins in a row, call 000 and treat it as an emergency

💧 IN THE BUSH — GENERAL SIGNS
Follow terrain downhill — water collects in gullies, creek beds and valley floors
V-shaped contour lines pointing uphill on topo map = drainage lines
Dense green vegetation in dry landscape = subsurface moisture below
Rock outcrops and cliff bases — water seeps through fractures, pools at base
Animal tracks converging — multiple tracks merging = water source nearby
Insect swarms (midges, mosquitoes) in dry conditions = water within 500m
Bird flight paths at dawn/dusk — grain-eating birds (cockatoos, pigeons, doves) fly low and direct toward water morning and evening
🌿 VEGETATION INDICATORS
Melaleuca (Paperbark) — almost always within metres of permanent or seasonal water
River She-Oak (Casuarina) — lines creek banks and drainage lines
Native ferns and mosses — indicate consistent moisture, especially on south-facing slopes
Reeds and rushes — permanent or near-permanent water
Eucalyptus with bright green foliage in dry season — roots reaching permanent water table
Sandstone escarpment bases — water seeps through porous rock and pools at the contact zone
🏜️ ARID AND OUTBACK REGIONS
Dry creek bed outer bends — dig 30–50cm into the sand on the outside of bends where water last flowed
Base of rocky hills and gorges — look for dark staining or green algae on rock faces
Spinifex rings — dead centre of old spinifex rings sometimes hold moisture
Claypans after rain — temporary but substantial. Check low-lying areas on topo map
⚠️ DANGER SIGNS — AVOID THIS WATER
• Bright blue-green or rust-coloured surface scum — cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), extremely toxic
• Strong sulphur or rotten egg smell — hydrogen sulphide, contaminated groundwater
• Dead animals nearby or in the water
• Frothy, foamy surface in still conditions — chemical or biological contamination
• Yellow or orange staining on rocks — acid mine drainage in mining regions
• No other animals drinking from it — trust the wildlife
