[quote=Anonymous]It's not just kangaroos. Critters in Australia are just down right terrifying.   The wild dingos carrying off babies, a giant ray killing Steve Irwin, it's a sharky place to surf, etc.

Reminds me of the Bil Bryson quote about Australia:

It has more things that will kill you than anywhere else. Of the world's ten most poisonous snakes, all are Australian. Five of its creatures - the funnel web spider, box jellyfish, blue-ringed octopus, paralysis tick, and stonefish - are the most lethal of their type in the world. This is a country where even the fluffiest of caterpillars can lay you out with a toxic nip, where seashells will not just sting you but actually sometimes go for you. ... If you are not stung or pronged to death in some unexpected manner, you may be fatally chomped by sharks or crocodiles, or carried helplessly out to sea by irresistible currents, or left to stagger to an unhappy death in the baking outback. It's a tough place.” 
― Bill Bryson, In a Sunburned Country[/quote]
