Its different here isn't it? While most European wildlife is either aw-shucks cute or mildly annoying, the beasties here are actively, pre-meditatedly trying to KILL you.
The ubiquitous spiders, several snakes, all of which, here in Victoria, are poisonous (you really, really don't want to bitten by one). Never mind "Dropping Bears" its bear droppings you need to worry about - so don't set up near a gum tree. Possums which, tho' cute as the dickens, have razor sharp claws and jaws that can crush concrete or the little fingers of ex-pats (I think they like the tender white meat).
God help us, its a wonder anyone survives more than a night or two.
