You forgot the blue ringed octopus (beautiful, but f***ing dangerous: 
And (to an extent) the redback spider (probably only deadly if you're very young or very old): 
When I spent a year in Australia, the only one I saw from these lists was a redback on the ceiling above my bed when I woke up one day. It died! -------------

A police corruption judicial inquiry that necessitates the jailing of three former ministers and a police commissioner would normally ''kill you stone dead'' but in Queensland, Australia the populace are still scared to ask a police officer directions for fear that they may tell you where to go..... -------------

If only you non-Aussies could hear our `beloved Prime Minister's voice....You'd be looking for any of those above mentioned deadly creatures to finish you off as quick as possible to spare you the pain....Sounds like she's reading a colourful storybook to a bunch of toddlers!

No, I just believe that Australia is one giant death trap waiting to happen. With the snakes, scorpions, spiders, heatwaves, tsunamis, gods wrath of that part of the world and drunken bogans and all I like to imagine going to HS in Australia means carrying a shotgun and fighting hordes of man eating spiders along the way. |
