3PointMan Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I'm going to Australia the summer of 2012 with my school. It's been a goal of mine to go there, and it's coming true. I've watched a lot of shows about spiders that can like hide in shoes and bite you, and other dangerous animals. I have arachnophobia, so I'm slightly worried. The question : How big of a threat are some of those animals? They can't be too bad, otherwise it wouldn't be so populous, but I need some information to calm my nerves. We're going to spend two weeks in Sydney and a week in Melbourne if location is of any relevance. what i'm doing now:soundcloud.com/student1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Lol wut Australia isn't entirely a rural wilderness. Melbourne and Sydney are some of the biggest cities and lions and man-eating spiders certainly don't live there.

Dax Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 If you're just going Sydney/Melbourne, you should be fine. Now what you've really got to watch out for are the drop bears. #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sees_all1 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I ingested a small (dime-sized) piece of aluminum foil. Should I be worried?(if you get the reference, you're my hero.) OT - I hear the spiders are everywhere, much like the tarantulas in Raiders of the Lost Ark. You'll have about 20 of them on your back before you know it. 99 dungeoneering achieved, thanks to everyone that celebrated with me! ♪♪ Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thoughtHave some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself ♪♪♪♪ And I'm not doneAnd I won't be till my head falls off ♪♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel555555 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 It's the bunyips youve got to watch out for :^_^: [spoiler=click you know you wanna]Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies. The fault is not mine! if you had this childhood and loved it put this in your signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dax Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I saw like ten spiders yesterday, the fact I was lying in amongst long grass in the middle of the paddock helped, but you know. In all seriousness, you'll be fine in the places you're going. #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Lord Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I think they have giant worms there. If you're just going to Melbourne/Sydney, you should be fine, thanks to the Australian government's anti-graboid programmes. They used to attack their underground colonies with nuclear bombs. The only danger you have is stepping on a land mine that they forgot to deactivate or going into the Australian outback. Apart from that, just don't piss off any dingoes or wallabies and you should be fine. Also, avoid these: SWAG Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

Furah Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 As I assume you'll be going to Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane you should be fine. Although with a title of Mr. Parkour I can tell you you have more to worry about falling off a building here than having our wildlife harm you. To be safe, know that for emergency services in Australia to call 000, if you're using a mobile phone call 112 if you can. Steam | PM me for BBM PIN Nine naked men is a technological achievement.
