Brits went and sent a bunch of prisoners there, messing with the quality of the human population, and it seems to be nature's dumping ground for especially nasty critters. During a brief stint in Taipei, I worked with a guy from the Adelaide area. Some of the things he was telling me about snakes, and spiders that can bite through your shoes is just nuts.

I just came back from Australia, and I went to a few places. Take Sydney it is essentially like Vancouver, but in the Southern Hemisphere. The amount of urban wildlife I saw I have never seen before.. they literally have giant rat like creatures who climb trees at night and make loud growling noises. I think they're called wombats. Almost like our racoons. And then have these just wondering around in urban areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should get there someday... lots of places on the bucket list, and too many 1st world crises to deal with in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
