But then on the other hand...In the past 5 minutes within 5 metres of our house I have photographed a Southern Orange Eyed Treefrog on our entry door (cat is inside...as always!), and a Mountain Brushtail Possum...and theres a pic of the turtle before too

In the last 3 weeks we have seen 5 snakes on our 4 acre property - 2 on the roof, another on our back deck - only carpet pythons and common tree snakes, but they could carry any sort of disease a rat could carry...tonight coming home I nearly ran over a 10" turtle on our driveway - not that they're scary, as long as you don't count the incredibly sharp barbed toes. And the resident koala isnt scary either, unless you count her razor claws. And dont start on the kangaroos - they'll kick you into next week if you're not careful. You look at one of those spiders, and they suddenly don't seem so bad anymore. I just count myself lucky I dont live up north...the crocs get kinda hungry in spring...
fuck australia

Pretty sure in Soviet Antipodes Australia fucks YOU!
DNA did a great bit about the book he wrote on the Madagascan Ai Ai and the Komodo dragon where he went to visit a venomous snake expert in Australia. Very funny (despite his rubbish accent). See if I can find a link

I thought about it and realized that my only posts in here have been negative. I'm sorry Australia. Here's a positive.
I really dig Radio Birdman, they have a couple of my favorite songs.

My resolve crumbles...
I have resisted for too long in this thread...
But...

Did you know that there is this fucking band...?
Yeah that fucking band....
That band they play on every rock radio station at least 5-10 time a day....
And every fucking other roller derby team uses them as their intro song...
And they are from that marsupial infested country for witch this thread is of....
