    Yay, I love deadly creatures.

    Yea, I know, I'm just jealous I only live in the 4th most desirable country. On the other hand if I was American I'd say this whole study is bullshit. Furthermore I might say the UN is bullshit.

    Look out Norway and Iceland! ;)

    We got a new regime! :D We'll whoop your arses next year! :p

    Seriously but, in my rankings Australia is THE most desirable country to live in, in the world. :D

    Where are the Kiwi's though??? I always figured if I had to live anywhere other than Oz that Kiwi would be the place to be. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Well mostly Koalas suffer chlamydia and erosion of natural habitat so their numbers are severely dimished. It's not like they're gonna come marching up to you at the airport and rip you to bits as a welcome. ;):D

    I'd actually be mostly concerned with swimming in Australia. Step on a rock that isn't a rock, it's a deadly seashell. Deadly seashell? wtf?

    I find it particularly amazing, and ironic, that people were sent to Australia as punishment and now it's the third most desirable place to live.

    At least I know if I get bit by something down there I'll probably die faster, so I won't suffer as long...haha

    Only time I've ever seen these "deadly" creatures in on the tele or in zoos and aquariums. You'd have more chance statistically of drowning.
    BUT if you swim between the flags AND follow the signs and warnings IF there is a plague of deadly rocks the Life Savers will pretty much have closed the beach down anyway. :)

    I've actually been to that place and I gotta tell ya Roland you spend an awful lot of time turning around in circles trying to calculate just how tough a cyclone fence really is! :eek:

    When those buggers leap up for chickens and stuff you really do throw yourself backward out of instinct! They are beautiful, scary, awesome creatures. :)
