I'm 3 rats in a trenchcoat

Come visit, if you come to the blue mountains hit me up and I'll take you on some more local knowledge bushwalks.

I hate our culture but I love the land and its slowtime history

Not anywhere near built up areas... there's one, the brown snake. he's a bit ornery but he'll leave you be almost all the time if you make some noise while walking and fatalities are ~2 a year and mostly in highly remote areas... don't walk in the tide pools without shoes on? you'll cut your foot on oysters at the best of times silly... just leave random critters in tide pools alone? it's not like they seek you out or attack you while you swim... yeah boxies are a nuance but only at the far north at certain times of year, you can swim when they're not around... never heard of them so they can't be that bad... what are you doing? naked bush bashing in FNQ? fucking relax, it's a random poisoned tree in some of the most remote regions of australia. Not like you'll get stung in any tourist region lmao... are you in the habit of disturbing bats? they fly up in the sky yo, just don't try ambush some sleeping bats? are you afraid of licking pidgeons or something?... white tails are not harmful https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/wildlife/2017/04/the-truth-about-white-tail-spiders/ and like all spiders you have to really really try to get bitten. You can handle them and they'll leave you alone... again are you naked bush bashing in FNQ? haha do you think our major cities are plagued by jungle fevers you idiot...

As opposed to FUCKING BEARS. No one ever brings up the fact that america gets BEARS. IN THEIR GARBAGE BINS. As opposed to 90% of our shit we don't encounter unless we go out of our way

But all the best level design is here.

Drowning is the biggest danger for people just arrived in Sydney

It's pretty rare to hear of a shark attack.

Blue ring octopuses and stone fish don't seek you out

Dangerous jellyfish are only in the far north

The ocean is pretty safe around the populated parts of Australia for people who know how to be safe from drowning.

Swim on patrolled beaches, between the flags.

read that page. You're unlikely to come across it without trying. No confirmed deaths in Australia. You can find videos of people stinging themselves, it looks unpleasant but not that bad. Not even exclusive to Australia.

"Bad things can happen to you if you deep into the forest/jungle and don't know what you're doing" is hardly uniquely Australian.

Well yes, but apart from the plants and animals and terrain there is nothing deadly about Australia.

Barely.

We are going to name a mental hospital after Morrison.
