Australia's a safe place to live.....really!
It's an awesome country we live in, and very safe. But you wouldn't know it...
Ian's been stung by a wasp. For the second time.
Spiders have started moving into my house.
The Queensland Government has praised the Queensland Parks and Wildlife officers who coordinated the rescue effort after Monday's crocodile attack in far north Queensland. Two campers were attacked by a four-metre saltwater crocodile at Bathurst Bay on Cape York Peninsula.
Fire Ants inflict a painful sting and if not eradicated will seriously affect our lifestyle.
Blue Ringed Octopus. Don't pick one up - by the time you see the electric-blue rings, it's too late!
Even our shells are bad!
Redback spider bites occur frequently, particularly over the summer months.
Overall tiger snake venom is one of the most potent of all known snake venoms, though slightly less potent than common brown snake venom. (comforting, huh?)
And I bet you think Kangaroos are pleasant and sedate. How wrong you are!
Having recently encountered an overly curious emu, let me tell you, they're not cheery creatures either!
Because of the Great White Sharkâs size and formidable teeth, attacks on humans are frequently fatal, some victims having been completely eaten.
Even our birds are vicious. Magpies love a good attack on an unsuspecting passerby.
Are ya scared yet?

See, in America, we'd just have those classified as terrorists and wiped out, everything from the great white down to the fire ants. Maybe not the emu though, we'd probably spare the emu. Ah, fun with self-deprication.
