Not to mention the Sun, and IF you go anywhere TAKE ENOUGH WATER AND FOOD WITH YOU!
Reading up on Oz does NOT prepare you for the reality...our quirky sense of humour ..(watch out for Drop Bears) our hard work ethic/ recreational ethic.
Yeah I love my country as you do yours. It is ugly, hard, full of idiots and bludgers. But it is home and I HATE seeing a new arrival being lost in the desert and found dead when he/ she could have taken simple precautions.
Please also be aware of the "Wallace Line" The country is literally split in two climatically
Oh yes it is very dangerous. Crocodiles, 9 out 10 most venom potent snakes, hell even the kangaroos will mess you up. I think that (oddly) is what appeals me Australia. A reminder that we are at the mercy of nature. And if i ever go i will do more site seeing and stay away from deserts. Especially with my baby girls they come before me and that just would not be safe. Speaking of which you or zen ever have any encounters with crocodiles or venomous snakes? Heard some pretty crazy stuff with reptile encounters out there
