Ghostsof1915 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I remember a friend of my Mom's, she lived in Queensland. She said their shoes were on racks upside down. So when you pick them up you shake first, before putting your feet in. Bears, cougars, that's reasonable. Multiple gross insects, shellfish, and other goodies. Ick.

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Can't we all agree that Australia is swirling mass of death, monsters, and fear urine? On a side note I'm beginning to worry about Argon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Eagles should be up there too. I imagine small people and children should watch themselves near a steep drop when an Eagle is around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XafAdkZIYKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
