Like an alien planet in a sci-fi film.

Brilliant. The US should follow suit.

This is an awesome idea, it's great as long as all that trash and debris is disposed of properly, so it doesn't eventually end up in the water supply anyway.

Aww, they can be so sweet...

Yay, local content for once.... my home town...

Beautiful, yet frightening. I love it ❤️

He's doing that on porpoise!

Tilda is beautiful!

All hail the RFDS! If it weren't for them my better half would never have lived to BE my better half! I love you both! 💕

Sometimes you need to fire customers.

Skippy hit the gym and now he is hunting down all those that tormented him in the past.

It's nice that they are sharing with Trevor!

So... There are three species then? The koala we know, the southern koala and the drop bear.

That is hilarious.

Gorgeous picture!

Only if you had Paul Hogan in the picture.

This is amazing. Please don’t stop if it’s true lol.

They may look ridiculous but do not tell them that, cassowarys are very dangerous birds.

Dang squatters

I was not expecting a flip flop. Thongs mean something different in Australia than in the UK.

Sign for tourists I'm assuming. We locals call it petrol. Gas is, well, a gas, not a liquid.

There is a garden plant quite common in the UK and presumably other countries, you do not have to touch it, just lie underneath it and you will be dead within ten minutes.

Maybe if the guy whose kid broke that vase came into this museum, the kid would finally learn not to touch anything and the guy might learn to watch his kid.

So even the plants in Australia are out to get you. Sorry, guys, I'm scared of Oz.

I love how gloriously laconic the guy's description is. That's 100% pure Australian-ness right there.

*1963

Google the Manchineel tree. Being underneath it in the rain gives nasty chemical burns. Every part of the tree is toxic.

1963. So says wiki.

Well good lord, burn it out of existence then.

Perfect weapon for war.

Please put this plant on the next Jáckáss show. 🤣

The UK has Giant Hogweed where it's SAP olis photo-toxic. If you touch it you will suffer from burns and the consequences can last longer than months (there are reported cases of years) . There is a reported case where the Touch was indirect, as in the dog brushed the plant and the owner got the burns after touching the do. She didn't realise he had brushed his fur when passing some plants. The plant can give you 3rd degree burns.

May the mesh around it should e lot smaller!

Nah. The manchineel tree is far worse.

If i were a bird i wouldn't use that bath either. As a human i wouldn't have gotten that close for a picture either.

UK person here. I second this sentiment.

Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) yes, the earth has two poles that take on solar radiation. The Aurora Borealis does not hold the market on that for earth lol.

Hey! Not his fault (the lake, not the explorer)
