Just goddamn MASSIVE crocs.
Paralysis ticks. Before and after feeding.
Spiders. Lots of spiders.
Bucket full of funnel web spiders collected from a Blue Mountains campsite. Each one can deliver a fatal bite.
Beetles. Swarming soldier beetles.
Flies. Lots of flies.
Plagues of millipedes.
Giant earthworms. OK, not dangerous, but BLEUGH!
Mole crickets. Nature gone horribly WRONG.
Giant venomous centipedes.
Giant centipedes that kill snakes?! Oh Australia!
Giant, pissed-off cassowaries.
Mysterious giant jellyfish.
Irukandji jellyfish. Perhaps the most dangerous creature in Australia, despite being no bigger than a thumbnail.
Blue-ringed octopus are the only species of octopus fatal to humans.
Predatory marble cone snail stings can cause respiratory muscle paralysis leading to death.
Danger! Stonefish, Earth’s most venomous fish.
Extremely well-camouflaged stonefish look like an encrusted rock or lump of coral.
Watch the skies! The hail can kill.
Even bloody freshwater swim holes can be dangerous!

I've lived in Perth WA for 20 years and have seen one snake and that was 30 k's outside of the city. OK I've been bitten by spiders 23 times, sharks twice and jellyfish 6 times including once whilst in bed, but it's really not that bad.

OK Peter, that was very comforting and facinating; I will re-order my vacation. Please also tell us what were you doing with jelly fish in your bed?
