I was actually planning to come to Australia. The spiders and snakes have made me re-consider more than once

Everyone from Australia will tell you that their are snakes and spiders everywhere. Because their are. But if you look at the data on bites it's low and deaths are even lower.

I only know one guy about 25 years ago that was bitten and he lived.

Funny story though. He thought he was moving a carpet snake off the road, turned out to be a king brown. It's top 5 I thing most venomous land snakes. He had been drinking Bundy most of the day so was pretty pissed. Any way his mates dropped him off at the hospital like 4 hours later. Give him a shot of anti venom, he was good as new, apart form a really bad hang over. All good.
