There is a stereotype in the rest of the world that, in Australia, everything there is out to kill you. But how often have you actually come into contact with something there that could've killed you?

Quite rarely, I’ve come close to a few snakes and encountered funnelwebs but across my life you could still count close encounters without running out of fingers.

This guy is the last that comes to mind, a decent sized brown that was a bit annoyed that I’d walked right past him so we stopped and stared at each other for a while before he backed off.
