Yup we have scorpions prolly got a few in the wood pile out back, but I don’t think they are poisonous or I have never really heard of anyone being bitten by them they are pretty small not much bigger than an Aussie 50c piece.
Hey bro great idea get yourself a summer house up here in the sub tropics, I reckon i’d enjoy throwing down a few cold ones with ya
I’ve lived in Oz for just over 30 years, a good part of that in the bush.... you get used to all the nasty things.... and those that are about, you really don’t see them too often.... I’ve had to dispatch a few snakes in my time. We have 10 of the 11 most venomous snakes in the world living in this state. Most of which piss off when they feel you coming, all but the King Brown and Eastern Brown they will come after you and they can jump up to several meters distance. They have a bad attitude I used to dispatch them on sight when the kids were young.... but now I tend to remove them to the bush.

Oh you have scorpions too there which can kill you right? Mmmm nice and peaceful life ... i would stay in a full service luxury highrise overlooking the Sidney bridge and have people go shopping for me so I don’t have to tend to a garage or a lawn with a shed of death in the corner of my backyard
But aside from all that wants to kill you Aussie is a beautiful very nice part of the world and if there wasn’t soo much deadly stuff on land and in the water I would probably get a house there to escape our horrible winters when there is summer in AU  |
