Australian: Ross river virus is a mosquito-born disease from australia and papua new guinea. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, muscle and joint aches and sometimes a rash, that resolve on own.

If you plan on travel to oz, take the same precautions to prevent mosquito-borne illnesses you would here.
