Thanks mate. In my 59 years here in Australia, I've seen plenty of spiders and snakes. I grew up on a farm. Like America's alligators, bears, wolverines, bobcats, whatever, we learn from a young age to be careful. Snake, or spider bites are a rarity. Cheers.

I grew up rural. That's when you get to experience the actual deadly aspect of living in Australia. I've never had the same level of worry in the city. If you lived here, you'd understand but it's very much like rural living the world around, you're in their territory and you get used to it.

[@kerriekerr2421]

This stuff actually doesn’t happen in Australia it’s very rare

[@knowEyeDeer]

Yes, it's very rare to be bitten by critters that can kill you if you are careful. I forgot to make a point of that in the first post, death is a rarity. I've been bitten by spiders but never the fatal kind. And I'm not gonna lie, at least once was my own stupid fault - but I knew what it was before it bit me. My uncle made a silly mistake and paid for it with his life. He got bit by a brown snake (because he wasn't careful) and had a heart attack.

[@dustenekoes28]

@@knowEyeDeer sorry to hear about your uncle. Just over a year ago I was almost bitten by an eastern brown snake (I wasn’t paying attention to where I was walking), and that was only a couple months after making the move to a rural town/city for the first time.

We rang and the bloke came out and was so excited. One of our spiders went on display as it was huge for a Red back. That was around 30 years ago and i live in another suburb and haven't seen one since.

I think that's one thing about australia. There doesn't necessarily need to be a reason to do something, if you feel like doing an odd thing then you go do it. I remember back during slightly post covid, my class organised a get together. the whole year came along but we all broke apart into groups. For some reason we all just decided to get Hawaiian shirts. that was something. Basically the shopping centre (this was a whole year thing, not just my class) had 150 students walking around in Hawaiian shirts. Funny thing was we also met up with our teacher while at the shopping centre. At the time, kmart wasn't letting us in, saying that those who weren't adults weren't allowed in without guardian supervision due to covid restrictions, then our teacher just randomly showed up and said that she was our guardian, stating it was a after school thing XD. so we were all allowed in, cool teacher.

2:20 there is no such thing as the fast lane. In Australia if the speed limit is above 80 then you must be in the left lane unless overtaking. Anything under 80 then you can sit in the right lane all you like. 3:26 is a massive goanna. 4:24 that was just in Victoria. 6:10 the train was waiting for the oncoming train to go into the bypass track further down the line so it could pass. 6:55 Cassowary can kill a adult in 1 kick. 8:49 we have a significant ice junkie issue. 12:18 rarely see any deadly spiders (redback & funnel web) unless you are cleaning up yard junk thats been sitting for longer than a week or so

4:26 Bit of context to why the no drinking outside rule got put in place back in Victoria's first true lock down. The rules allowed going to a places to get takeaway, so pubs would do take away alcohol.

the NO.1 rule with 4wding, you do NOT "give it gas" unless going up a steep hill/if necessary, in most other situations you go slow / use the momentum and brakes, going fast will only damage your car and damage the track more. And going fast down a hill into water is a no go. You specially go slow if the track is full of steep ruts. It's a very important thing here that 4wd's (solo, group or clubs) take care of th track they're on, and if they're caught driving recklessly all the time then the rangers could issue a wide ban for the area's track being used. (source - my father and his 4wd club that hes been a part of for almost 20years). Also, not sure if its a thing in america, but 4wd tracks in australia are colour coded for difficulty, the more difficult being more steep hills, more ruts, more twisty-turny. Black being the hardest, other colours being grey, blue, red and green.

The main reason why some drivers Asian and Indian drivers mostly.

She was taking it outside in the container with the lid and said, Nan, this is a redback. Sure enough, it was a large redback spider so that one definitely got squashed. They are the only ones I'll squash, all others are safe from me. First time I've had one in the house though. Common enough outside. BTW, I'm in Perth.

Its an easy rule to remember...On dry land, if it crawls along the ground, odds are it can kill you or cause you serious pain. If it's at the beach, you are swimming in the sharks back yard, and in Queensland, of if looks like a little (of big) jellyfish, it can kill you. Same for octopusses and ugly little fish that look like rocks. Here we are brought up at the beach and in the bush. We know what to look out for.

What they mean by "as of yet no charges have been made", you have to understand that the state can press charges of assault on the tradies if it wasnt deemed necessary self defence. So when they say "no charges have been made so far, that is in relation to everyone who interacted with him, how they acted, if they were hurt do they want to charge them. Do the businesses want to charge him for property damages. Does the state want to charge anyone. All sorts of things needed investigating.

That snake in the cracked wheelie bin was a python, not venomous just don’t let it give you a hug.

That last spider is a huntsman and isn't dangerous so while he's a big spider he's ok. But one doesn't want it in the bedroom while you're sleeping! And you don't want any spider in the car while you're driving! Kangaroo and wallabies have short arms so they always hold them that way. The ones to be wary of are the 6 foot male red roos cos they can really hurt you. Those guys sitting on their driveway in the rain - it was so wet here for months on the east coast in early 2022 that we got bored and had to do something to amuse ourselves!! It was pretty dangerous to go out on the roads as anywhere could be flooded and large potholes formed in most major roads.

If and when you come to Australia, the only way you will come across a BIG spider is if you go looking for them

I wasn't expecting the big arse huntsman in my mailbox sitting on top of a letter when I reached in. Of course I put a photo of it on FB.
