Australia is a dangerous place.
If you’re headed there, watch out!
All joking aside, Australia has lots of deadly things…but so does everywhere else. Is Australia dangerous? Not much more than anywhere else in the world.
….
If you already live there, congratulations on being alive.

Australia is even more dangerous than what's on this map. I should know, I live there! Kangaroos hop in the middle of downtown Sydney and attack people :P
That's why There's Nothing Like Australia! We like poking fun at ourselves.

“full of death” haha!
I wonder why Australia doesn't advertise that in all their brilliant tourism marketing?!

That would be the worst! At least with a dingo, you'd expect the baby to be stolen.

I am more afraid of Australia than anywhere else I'm visiting in my RTW. It just seems so… full of death.
Amazing anyone survives to adulthood there.

What design. What composition.
Also I don't see any crazy huge Vampire Bats represented on this map. I don't think they can kill you, but they can definitely steal your small infant out of its carriage.
