Australia - sharks; spiders and snakes - yikes

Only been in Australia 66 years, been bitten, attacked and assaulted by only 5 of those mentioned.....seen 21of them in their wild natural habitat...lucky l guess.:)

 

The best advice l could give an American would be is to think twice before crossing a street, look RIGHT everytime before stepping out front the kerb...Our cars drive on the left...they come from the wrong direction....look right, look left, and then LOOK RIGHT again, just in case!:eek:

Now that's a good bit of advice.

Yes, I always look in both directions several times as some people are really bad drivers and you never know when they will even come up the footpath.:eek:

Very good advice! I was fresh off a plane in Paris and wasn't thinking, stepped right out in front of a car because I looked the wrong way. Thank goodness they were going slow and stopped!

If you cruise from Australia to the Pacific Islands I would also add coconuts to the list. I'm surprised that there are no warnings to cruisers going ashore not to sit or lie under coconut palms. Those falling nuts can and do kill.

G'day GUT2407

 

Try a combination of dark, milk and white ones in the bottom of a huge glass with a equal shots of Cointreau, Grand Marnier and Baileys Irish cream topped with Haagen Daz Rum Raisin then drizzle a jigger of Frangelico over the top of the ice-cream!

 

Best alcoholic desert Jaffa's you will ever come across... :p

 

Cheers ;)

Macca's in any shape form or size will always get me.

 

We had a dog once that would lie under a tree in my in laws yard and crunch on the pods that fell from the tree and wifey would worry that they were something bad for him, but just couldn't stop him, at that stage I had not seen a Macadamia in the husk, sure in the shell but didn't know that they had an outer husk as well, when we did see one complete we understood, the mongeral was feasting on Macadamia nuts no wonder they couldn't stop him.
