I think we've managed to cover most of the nasties - certainly more than most people will see in thier lifetime. I think the wasps found on Cape York and bullants are the only insects not yet mentioned.
If you go camping or picnicing there is another hazzard - the feathered touristpecker. They work on the assumption that your food is their food. The approach can either be full frontal or by sneaky raids. Showing intent and a weilding long stick is generally enough to ensure you don't accidently feed the wildlife. Then there are the marauding macropods. These can take a bit more convincing, often involving direct physical contact. I've had to push one out of a tent.
I don't know what bucky is but I get the idea. Sorry to say that Australia has a plentiful supply of halfwits. We've just had a bunch of them create an international incident by beating up some Indian students.
