There's Danger in Australia

Surferdude · **April 06, 2012, 21:55:24**

We have 9 of the world's 10 deadliest snakes, a couple of deadly spiders, crocodiles, plenty of poisonous plants, sharks, box jelly fish, irukandji, stone fish, blue ringed octopus and now..........the puffer fish.

If one of those deadly creatures don't get you, the skin cancers or floods will.......

And you have bushfires.......and AFL.

Queensland has AFL....

Whereas in in the west we only have these nice, warm & friendly creatures that we can swim with

Only under sufferance.
The AFL has a massive inferiority complex and feels the need to spread its tentacles all over - just to feel like one of the boys.
They even bastardise their rules so they can play internationally.

Doggie 1 · **Reply #10: April 07, 2012, 04:04:24**

Oh, and these big lizards.

rustynutz · **Reply #11: April 07, 2012, 04:05:52**

Suffer in your undies, Trev.....

NSFW

Doggie 1 · **Reply #13: April 07, 2012, 04:24:28**

That was a tad NSFW.
It makes you realize how many bities we have in the Aussie sea though.

Unlike Rugby League that bastardised the laws of Rugby so that only NSW, QLD, Auckland and Northern England would want to play.

Your life will never be boring with all of those creatures nearby, I guess.
We do have just snakes, bears and wolves; I have encountered the first creature of them in a wild so far and it had been dead already

Doggie 1 · **Reply #16: April 07, 2012, 06:55:50**

We have snakes, but no bears.
In the ouback we have dingos and you have to watch them because they're partial to babies

We have lots of wild camels and wild horses too, both introduced species.

Rugby deserved to be bastardised. Played by a bunch of upper class "snobs' who tried their best to exclude the workers.
League is alos played in Russia, USA (The NE), Canada, PNG and a host of European countries. It's a sleeping giant.

Don't forget the most dangerous of creature; the Surfboardis Finnis.

Just an urban legend mate (a bit of fun) They might wee on you and scratch you a bit but but they don't eat people
