Yep, Taipans are one of the most lethal snakes in Australia, they don't just strike once, they strike multiple times, I think they are found in the Northern Territory, where I live, but fortunately I have never seen any, we also have the King Brown snake, definitely one to avoid, we also have a tiny jellyfish called the Irukandji, you don't want to get stung by one of them cause they are known as one of the most venomous creatures on earth, they are pretty small so they are hard to see in water, it has been identified as the cause of Irukandji Syndrome, the sting is 100 times as potent as Cobra venom, and 1,000 times more potent than Tarantula venom.

The elderly couple that sadly passed away yesterday while snorkelling on the Barrier were apparently stung by Irukandji. Authorities believe this resulted in at least one them having cardiac issues and tragically drowning.

The worst we get down our way are blue bottles, and they are a big enough pain. I am kind of happy that I have a pool at home and at my inlaws around the corner, though you still need to be wary of the occasional funnel web in the water and for some reason German and Dutch backpackers.

What, random backpackers just cruising through using your swimming pool? Clothed or sans clothing? Being from that part of Europe tends to suggest birthday suits only. Would love to see their reactions if a funnel web was in the water with them. They are also one very aggressive critter. Don't see many of them up here but their close cousin the Brown Trapdoor Spider does live up here mainly in the scrubby acreage and hinterland districts and very hard to tell them apart from one another. Massive fangs almost the size of fish hooks.
