Most of the creatures aren't that freaky once you learn about them! The only things you should worry about are the deadly snakes and spiders!

Beautiful country with a versatile landscape. Great underground Hotels/BnB's in the Outback. A joy to drive. The crashed spaceship from "Pitch Black" is located in Coober Pedy. And Glendambo (between Port Augusta and Coober Pedy) has a population of 30 humans and 2'000'000 flies.

You can have pet rabbits in some states - I had them as pets as a kid, but now I live in a different place, and my kids can't.

They have strange rules about people on motorcycles riding together in groups and I’ve been told by a number of Australian family members that they are automatically suspected of being a gang when more than 2 are seen riding together.

I like the bush. Here you join the geckos in basking in the sun, with the wind slithering around. You can hear the trees dance and drop their branches to the music of noisy birds announcing their existence. You can smell the grey dust and long brown needles being shuffled about by bush turkeys or bin chickens. It's alive and you can be a part of it!

The UK government used South Australia as a nuclear testing ground in the 50s...
So theoretically, there were indigenous Australians who saw a nuclear blast before they saw a white person.... Fkn bizarre isn't it.... All the cancers amongst Australian army personal weren't nice though...

I just read a documentary about Australian wildlife so here's my take:
Kangaroos and koalas seem fair enough (from a safe distance).
However, Irukandji jellyfish, funnel web spiders, redback spiders, coconut crabs, coastal taipans, death adders, paralysis ticks, bull ants etc are making me reconsider going there on vacation unless I can carry a flamethrower with me (Sorry Aussie Pandas) -_-

I’m Australia there are more than 250 Indigenous languages including 800 dialects. Each language is specific to a particular place and people. We have a rich cultural history and the connection many people have to Country (‘Country’ being the land they are the Traditional Custodian of ie. where their family are from) is magical. Forget the stereotypes about Aboriginal people. If you get chance to learn even a tiny amount about Aboriginal culture you’ll be glad you did. In the words of my area “Womindjeka” which means “welcome, come with purpose”. Come visit Australia with a good heart and enjoy what it can teach you.
