What kind of animals do I have to be afraid of in Queensland? :)? |
Travel Info I don`t really like spiders and snakes :) and I heard that there are many in AU. But are they really everywhere? IS many of them really dangerous? Travel Tips Ok, I live in Queensland and we have quite a number or venemous friends that share our home - but don't let that out you off. Depending on where you go in Qld, you could be exposed to: Red Back Spiders Snakes - assorted and with varying degrees of venom Cone Shells Stone Fish Blue Ringed Octopus Box Jellyfish (up North Qld - seasonal - plenty of signs sbout) Salt water crocs (again, further north - plenty of signs about) Sharks (we have shark nets) Sea snakes (you'd have to be really unlucky) White tip spiders (again, you'd have to be really unlucky) Cane toads (nothing a good kick won't solve) Funnel Web (predominatly NSW, but recently new breed found in Sunshine Coast Hinterland) Razorback pigs (again, you'd have to be very unlucky) And the list goes on... In all honesty though - it is extremely unlikely that you will have a face off with any of the above (Cane toads excluded - just grab the little bugger and take him to the nearest cane toad race at your local pub and you might even win some $$'s) The biggest thing you need to exercise caution with if you are heading further North is Crocodiles - HEED THE SIGNS!!! Also, ALWAYS swim between the flags at the beach - the water is treachourous. You will love Queensland it truly is a paradise - have fun Others hello animals arenot dangerous,people are dangeruos Killer jelly fish and Blue ringed Octopus, are more dangerous then spiders...there is antivenom for the spiders and snakes. Just don't touch anything...and only swim in patroled beaches and don't stick your fingers into a shell or step around the water without beach shoes. Oh and check your shoes , keep them up high...spiders like dark places. You rarely see spiders and snakes in suburban areas unless you disturb a nest or go bush walking....stick to the paths if you do. They are usually more afraid of you. that's easy. dingos of course. especially if you have a baby. maybe the dingo ate your baby. depends on where in queensland u r goin... cities, u just gotta watch out for redback spiders.... very rarely snakes... but go in the bush... and u can find anything.... yes we have the most venomous snakes on earth...but most times thay are more scared of u than u of them.. they only attack when cornered or been statrled.... u gotta be more careful of drunken idiots than snakes or spiders. but still Queensland beautiful one day ...perfect the next... i live in queensland if you leave the aniamls alone they will leave you alone. the crocs are a different thing though. just stay out of their water and you will be fine mate. queenslander |
