Killer Kangaroos!

You mean, other than the fact we have the best beaches in the world,

Oh please! I've been to the beaches in Brisbane and wondered why all the beaches had swimming pools beside them - thats until my nephew went in and came out covered in jellyfish stings!
Then of course there are Scorpion fish, blue ringed octopodes, sea snakes, Bruce the shark, etc etc etc

The same nephew use to play with Redback (spiders) in their garden, and I have personally witnessed both the wolf spider and a veranda covering cobweb that would make any haunted house proud

and who said Ozzie animals don't hunt you down - how else do you describe baby-eating dingo's?

Just a friendly tussle with the local wildlife mate. Nothing to get upset about!

ah.. the beaches.. they are lovely.. you just have to know when NOT to swim in them... some times of the year the various jellyfish do make it a little bit more... dangerous. But that just makes the beach more fun. And if you really want to swim during those times of the year you just wear a special suit that some girl up north designed and patented made out of stockings.

And the reason you swim in the beaches right near Brisbane?.. well that's simple.. Brisbane is on a river.. the mouth of the river has mangrove swamps and mudflats. mmmm mmmm.. I luv swimming in a mudflat.

A little north or a little south though.. it's lovely. That is if you like jumping into that evil thing called the ocean

This thread is helping to give me a much better view into the psyche of Steve Irwin....

That would be around Townsville right - the place with the GIANT MANEATING CROCODILES of DOOM!!!! and the Gold Coast might be a nice place to visit - but I wouldn't want to live there

Sorry, but it's too early in the morning for me to pass up straight lines. "That usage displays an ignorance of three languages".

Oh I'm ignorant in a lot more than three languages.

I'd say that's more 'foraging' than 'hunting'. Semantics...

Actually, I'd say it was more sacraficial.

Ooooh... tasteless humour!

I'm surprised nobody got around to mentioning stonefish and the dreaded razorback

Having seen my mother nearly die from the bite of a female redbacked spider, I stay as far away from the things as possible!!!

Seeing a herd of kangaroos in News South Wales that were quite annoyed at something decide to charge around the countryside was an experience and a half, let me tell you.

Forget the roo's. It IS the ants we're fighting!
