Well I have managed to keep alive for almost 70 years in this land of Oz! It’s the two legged beasts that are the most deadly!

No black mambas but we have quite a few snakes with higher toxicity. Example eastern taipan, King brown, and the deadliest in the world the western taipan(but they are extremely shy and live in remote desert area) No.3 is disturbing as the blue ring octopus only flashes those iridescent rings when it is agitated and it bites with its beak That person was in extreme danger. no7 the gecko is an artificial wall fixture. The chances of seeing or running into any dangerous animals , insects or amphibious creatures is extremely unlikely. Come on down and we'll put an extra shrimp (prawn) on the barbie (BBQ)

Who on Earth puts a poisonous octopus on their hand?!

Two legged beasts (people) are far more dangerous than any of these!

I have wanted to visit Australia all my life. It's not going to happen so I just enjoy the pics of the animals and the beautiful lands of the country.

I’ve been around Australia
and I’m not hard to please.
I’ve coped with fire ,floods
and drought, famine and disease.
Flies , snakes and spiders
leaches , ticks and fleas.
But I can’t cope with koala bears that fall out of trees..!
A song I’ve never forgotten from yr 2000 @ Uluru..! 💕💕😂

I don't know if this is true, but Australia seems to me to be a land from the past before the development of mammals.

Australia has some really scary creatures! I’m glad I don’t live there!
Margaret White

tbear, Forgot about the cane toads, they are dead set ugly. They only come out at night so I try to avoid going in the back yard after dusk.
Susan Henderson
tbear, The only thing I ever see are geckoes (No. 14). They're good though because they eat mosquitoes etc.

andrewedwards, in that I own a beautiful example in a Coogie cardigan, I whole heartedly agree with your observation.

andrewedwards, Australia is famous for the Coogie apparel line. What makes it unique is all of the vibrant colors just like the fish thats pictured
andrewedwards
This fish was absolutely beautiful all of the colors. I nicknamed him The Coogie Fish
