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.

    eek! Thanks, Susan… you're not the first to tell me that. :/

    I'll have to figure something out.

  2. Susan says:

    That's awesome.

  3. Susan says:

    I've been having such a hard time commenting on your blog lately by the way! I think it's my slow comp.

  4. Stephanie says:

    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.

  5. we survived, evviva!

    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.

    Survival of the fittest!

  8. Adam says:

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

  9. Adam says:

    “full of death” haha!

    I wonder why Australia doesn't advertise that in all their brilliant tourism marketing?!

    too funny (and too true)

    love it!

  11. Look at you all… haha. I've survived Australia for 29 years, nothing to worry about. Just watch out for drop bears those guys will eat you alive.

  12. Adam says:

    Oh drop bears.

  13. Anil says:

    That is too awesome :)

  14. You gotta watch out for them Killer Kangaroos!

  15. Gourmantic says:

    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.
