Add this to my long list of reasons why I won't be setting my foot down under, they're mostly all related to wildlife. The heat isn't really helping either.

The heat is brutal, not gonna lie, in the summer it gets to like 45 Celsius/113 F. You can literally fry an egg on the pavement, people have done it just to prove a point.

Wildlife's honestly not that scary really. For instance, we do have huge huntsman spiders, but those are timid and harmless, while it's not common to actually encounter the deadly ones.

We actually have no large land predators bigger than a dingo, so you can camp without having to worry about being eaten. As an Aussie, stuff like bears in America/Asia/Europe seems way scarier than just big bugs haha
