It’s horrendously clichéd to talk about how dangerous Australia is, but it bloody well is when you think about it comparatively.
What wildlife in the UK can or ever does really harm you? A badger can give you a nasty nip, a swan may or may not break your arm and I’ve been chased by a slightly miffed cow before, but apart from that the most dangerous things seem to be alcohol and rottweilers owned by chavs.
In Australia, on the other hand, there are friggin trees that can actively harm you. Trees! Not to mention box jellyfish, saltwater crocodiles, those crazy spiders that can kill you just by looking in your general direction and heat in the outback that can bake you from the inside.
Just think about that. Makes a bee sting look like plucking a nose hair.
