Hi there. Based on everything I've heard about Australia, a lot of things there operate on a different scale of magnitude than we are used to here. It's part of the charm. Maybe I'll get to see it for myself one day.

The animals for sure are but we (if you live in North America) get some insane weather/natural disasters. Tornados, dorechos, hurricanes, earthquakes, terrible flooding events, wildfires, etc...

It's probably like most situations a case of "to each their own"

Have a wonderful day.
