As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do".

Jokes aside, if you want to "survive" there's just a couple of things to remember:

* don't go lifting logs and big stones carelessly. These are the ambush haunts of funnel web spiders, snakes, scorpions, and other beasties. If you do need to, be very bloody careful.

* If you come across a snake, don't chase it to kill it - you're gonna loose. Just back away and leave it alone.

* To avoid having a dropbear fall on you, smear a generous amount of Vegemite behind your ears - it's the only thing known to repel these vile creatures.

* Your best friend is a cricket bat - throwing a boot at a big cockroach is only going to have the roach throw it back at you, WITH interest!

At the Airfield during winter, only the last two points really apply.
