Come to Australia…You might accidentally get killed.
Australia, RTW: 2007-2008 — By Kelly on April 22, 2008 6:45 AM“Scared Weird Little Guys” is an Australian music duo that sing about all the deadly animals you may encounter if you come to Australia. Fortunately, I have not seen any poisonous creatures yet; however, I did get a good scare from a HUGE spider last weekend!
Inside the bedroom of the B&B I stayed in at Jarvis Bay, I saw the largest spider I had ever seen! It was a huntsman spider and was as big as my hand! I had no idea at the time that the scary spider is not poisonous; however, it does bite. I did know that it was a good possibility it could be poisonous as Australia is filled with many venomous and deadly creatures!
