Reason number one NOT to live in Australia

[GreenandBlackOtter]

enlarge it at your peril

yuck.

There are worst things in Australia

OH but that's in Queensland fgs, the rest of it isn't like that

Yet...

Really ?
What's worse ?
I love frogs and toads, but unfortunately, he is WELL ugly !!

He's cute

Did you see the size of its legs? OMG

I saw huge frogs in Australia but I like frogs

now spiders.......

That thing looks furious.

That's what some mumsnetters look like when you mention Fruit Shoots.

Ah... poor thing is quite sweet actually.

Toadism. Shame on you

awww i like it

What's worse than that in Australia?

Really?

Spiders as big as your fist & as fats a an F1 car (ok, so I exagerate)
Redback Spiders
White Tail Spiders
Snakes
41 degrees in Dec
Bush Fires that drain resorces...

Still, I'd rather be here! Love it.

as fast as an

That's it I'm never going.

I can cope with spiders, snakes and other poisionous things.

But the fs and ts - I rather die (and i ain't exaggerating).

ITs my worst nightmare come true.

SOrry Auntie, but I'm never coming now. DOn't care where you live, just being on the same continent as those things

wooses, the lot of ya!
Try having a wee in an outback dunny with a King Brown snake coiled up in the corner....

Gingerbear, I had to do similar with a huge huntsman watching me from the inside of the door....

Then Sunday, I had a close encounter with one on the inside of our screen door as I opened the front door....dh took dd & the pup & ran into the bedroom, shouting quick quick, run! Leaving me to 'remove' it.

Pmsl.....

please don't tell me this stuff ....
In 2 weeks and 1 day i move to Melbourne.

Oh Please. I am so SICK of the constant "wildlife" stories about Australia.

I grew up in Oz, and lived there till we moved here 8 years ago, and while we did have toads in our backyard, we just whacked them over the head, or stuck them in the freezer to get rid of them .

Honest to G*d, the wildlife is so not an issue in Australia and I am so sick of these LCD stories!

He'd make a nice handbag

aww I think it is cute, but then I can cope with anything other than ants, and you get shitloads of those in the UK!

Well, okay, it's no looker, but bludgeoning them to death with a golf club? Really? Call in the ASPCA!

Keep to the shopping malls, G&B, you'll be fine.

Now, show me a picture of a flying cockroach and I'll be outta here faster than you can say crunch.

yep cane toads we used to go driving at night to squash them and the other thing is the HEAT.yep queensland cane toads brought in to eat a bug but they went into overdrive mass reproduction they are slowly moving southwards down the east coast. ugly but squishy.
