Just to make it clear to our northern hemisphere friends: When using the term "Down Under" to discuss the many hazards to human life found in Australia: "Down Under" in little old NZ there is NOTHING here that can kill, maim or hurt you, or even cause you a moments discomfort. No snakes, no crocs, no box jellyfish no aggressive lizards and only one tiny spider that is so rare and endangered that no-one I know has ever seen one. The worst that could happen is to be confronted by an angry possum (and we know where they came from!).
