Ahh yes, the outback there is marvelous. Well, the only downside is the danger, praying for the next victim. All these dangerous animals are just a result of harsh landscape I guess. So for me, New Zealand would be my rookie place to go. Maybe when I would toughen up, Australia it is. Here at my home, we have only 2 types of venomous snakes and even these two aren't that fatal. Probably that is the reason I would be afraid. And changing some habits isn't an easy thing... Like checking your boots when you put them on. Anyway, did you encounter any dangerous animal in Australia?
I've encountered many dangerous animals in Australia, even stepped on a big Eastern Brown snake once...I wrote a post about it. It's a very deadly snake. I didn't get tagged fortunately, or I might not be here to tell the story.
It's like any place though, in that there's pros and cons. Australia has a lot to offer and people don't run into deadly things all the time.
