Eh...if you're not a snake, I don't see the issue. Spiders haven't killed anyone by biting them since anti-venom was developed. Ok, they've learnt to attack people driving cars and cause them to crash, though.
Mostly, Australian wildlife is fine is you stay away. Most people who get killed or injured seem to be stupid young males wanting to show their mates how manly/stupid they are by doing something dangerous.

I'm starting to wonder if being Australian and still alive is something to be proud of, or if everyone else needs to harden up a bit.
pfft, you kidding?Hazy992 said:Ah yes Cracked. They introduced me to the terror of giant blue earthwormsLucem712 said:
we got worms that'll chew their way into your flesh.
tip, wear boots.
eh...I'd still be more worried about them funnel web spiders. Sure that golden orb weaver looks scary as hell but the worst that'll probably ever happen is a painful bite and a soiled pair of pants. Besides, I've seen these spiders take down birds so a snake is really no surprise.
I chased a rat into some long grass once. I hit the black shadowy thing with the broom i had and out popped a cobra. Snakes are cool though.Vault101 said:
And hey i have something to share.
As an Australian that camps in the wilderness regularly, I can safely say that most of these animals only attack if they are provoked. I've been on the Earth for 21 years, so I guess I'm doing something right
OT: Good thing that lives in Queensland, but it still looks small enough to only need one visit from Dr Foot

Good. Stay out of our country ye ignorant yanks!
Seriously though, nobody has died by a spider bite in decades!
Redback - anti-venom introduced in 1956. ZERO fatalities since then.
Funnel-Web Spider - anti-venom introduced in 1981. ZERO fatalities since then.
Those are the most dangerous spiders in Australia.
Snakes on the other hand...Stay the fuck away. But that should be common sense to everybody. There is seriously nothing to be afraid of over here. You won't die if you get bitten and you will only get bitten if you try to get bitten (taunting and handling snakes and spiders for example is an invitation for a bite).
But I don't want you over here trying to take our women.

You are awesome.Nouw said:
You see, Australia is like Northrend, if your not a high level character your just not going to survive down here.
A hive of white tails? Shit man call an exterminator. Those things bite you and the bite will be a problem for the rest of your life.imahobbit4062 said:
As we advance, so does our wildlife. Expect man-eating kolas next.
Allow me to 1-up that:F said:
My sister and I have both been bitten by red-back spiders on separate occasions and neither of us required any medical attention. Maybe the poor beggars aren't out to get us? Maybe they just want a friend?BathorysGraveland said:
