This is Australia!! Where everything wants to KILL YOU!!

[Simmo]

Hey fellow RPA/UAV/Drone pilots/operators!!

I am fortunate enough to live in the Lucky Country, albeit, I have to live up side down.... but thats ok, I'll get over it!!!
I am well aware, that people from all over the world, think that everything here in Oz, wants to KILL (or harm) YOU!!!
I live in the Tropics of Far North Queensland, many oversea's friends we have here say the climate and environment is pretty much world class.

But we have Crocodiles in the creeks and water ways competing with sharks too!!
Thens there's little jelly fish the size of a matchhead, that can ruin your day!
Stonefish that if stepped on will go through ya flip flop, and little Mosquitoes that can make ya drop!!!
Bats, that live in tree's, up the other way... they can kill ya too!!
Snakes... wow, we have a few...
Spiders.. yup.. they're not new..
Three vicious toes those Emus...
And they take stuff them dingoes...

What do you think the biggest animal killer is in Australia??

Oh I hope you’re not a travel agent for Australia

Going by the thread we were in not to long ago I would say cows/bulls/ horses, something on those lines

Spiders didnt even make the top 10???

Not many spiders here will kill you. Ruin your day but not kill. Even the dreaded Red Back, which we have plenty of around our house, will probably only give you a LOT of pain.

My main worry is snakes, which there are a lot of everywhere, and sharks which seem to have gone from very rare killers to a death every few months around here. A couple of deaths on local beaches in recent months.

I find it hard to believe the number of deaths due to Kangaroos unless they count cars hitting Roos.
