Black Widows are North America goat, it's their cousin the Redback that they have in Oz.

More to the point, it's the snakes you have to watch out for. 19 of the 20 most venomous snakes on Earth are in Australia, most in the North though. They're the most dangerous animal in Oz after the drop bears...

Interesting fact: Virtually every snake is more scared of you than you are of them, except Red Belly Blacks. Those are the lunatics of the snake World, they'll attack anything (except drop bears. NOTHING fucks with the drop bears). I once saw one attacking the bucket of a 30 Tonne excavator!

Also Bull sharks are a bigger problem that Great Whites. They love the murky water you find in estuaries.

You also left off salt water Crocs. Those fuckers are massive! I once saw on in Weipa, basking in the mud at low tide. It was so big it was stopping traffic to look at it. I swear to God, the bugger must have been 6-8m in length!

Roo's, Grey or Red, birds of prey, spiders, snakes, jellyfish, Crocs, sharks, even the trees out there have thorns and inch long, and a blade of grass is an actual feckin blade! I cut my hand to ribbons on the poxy stuff!

In essence, rule of thumb in Oz is that EVERYTHING is out to kill you then eat you. Once you have that firmly in your mind, the only other thing you need worry about is getting mown down by the land trains!

Fucking hell...

The blue-ringed octopus, despite its small size, carries enough venom to kill 26 adult humans within minutes. Their bites are tiny and often painless, with many victims not realizing they have been envenomated until respiratory depression and paralysis begins. No blue-ringed octopus antivenom is available.

Wait. So you can get bitten and not know anything about it until it’s too fucking late and your body starts packing in?

Australia as a holiday destination

STOP IT.

Also…

Effectsedit​

Tetrodotoxin causes severe and often total body paralysis. Tetrodotoxin envenomation can result in victims being fully aware of their surroundings but unable to move. Because of the paralysis, they have no way of signaling for help or indicating distress. The victim remains conscious and alert in a manner similar to the effect of curare or pancuronium bromide. This effect is temporary and will fade over a period of hours as the tetrodotoxin is metabolized and excreted by the body.

The symptoms vary in severity, with children being the most at risk because of their small body size.

This is all a bit grotesque. Not great for the welfare of the players and cant imagine its absurd money for the game anyway.

About the only interesting thing is no Hojbjerg travelling which can only be good news.

I reckon it's just a free flight home for Ange for a few weeks...
No doubt they'll drop Sonny off 'on the way back' (at Seoul Services!) so he can pop in on his Family!

How are you lot still alive?

Irukandji

Robert Drewe describes the sting as "100 times as potent as that of a cobra and 1,000 times stronger than a tarantula's".[25]
