Have you guys any quams about the wildlife you could encounter in Oz ?

I'm talking about all the poisionous snakes, spiders etc.
(e.g. Australia has 8 out of the 10 most dangerous snakes in the world!)


Some dangerous 'criters' out there :o

IrishDude, no need to worry too much about the snakes and spiders in the cities. If you see a snake in the city i'd be very suprised and even if you did it would probably turn the other way and run (not that snakes run as such :) ).

You are more likely to see spiders (Red Backs, Funnel Webs) but again its not something i would be too worried about. Its usually a matter of stay away from them and they'll stay away from you.

If you go bush then obviously you will come across snakes and spiders more often but I wouldn't let it concern you too much at all.

Woooo!!! :o

Woooo is right !

Thanks for the info cliffo.
I would agree with the 'if you don't bother them - they won't bother you' theory.
However, I believe one particular type of spider has the nasty habit of hiding in-and-around toilet bowls (damp and cool enviroment) - so be careful to flush BEFORE (and after!) folks :D

:crap:

That would be this **Warning very, very lame**Redback on the Toilet Seat ....hehehe

Hahahhh! Poor guy!!! :rolleyes:
