A guy in the house where I stay in the Pines is always going on and on about Australia. I will never go to Australia. There are over 250 varieties of snake in Australia. About 130 of those deliver lethal bites. And there's a spider that's lethal, too. The spider only is found in Sydney. So much for the "well, I'll just stay in the city and not venture into the bush" strategy. Uh uh. No Australia for me.
