[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Thoughtychops, I'm pulling your leg. :) The scariest thing a Koala could do would fall on you from being so stoned from eating all those Eucalyptus leaves! LOL! It's just funny to make up these stories, cause so many "stupid Americans" TM. think that we have Kangaroos hopping down the mainstreets and we all ride emu's to work and school! It's not like that at all... we ride wombats! :) We have a bit of bush near us - and we do get wallabies in the mornings in that tract of bush. And I've seen the occasional rabbit run down our street. heh. The first time I encountered a Koala up close (held one) was when my Cousin came over from the States at the start of the year and I took her to Lone Pine Koala sanctuary. So many Koalas there!! So cute. (Smelly too ;o) ) Of course all the animals there are relatively tame, and I hand fed some kangaroos - that was cool. A lot of the things were asleep (cause alot of them are nocturnal - Koala's, Tassie devils, Wombats (you know they can run at 40 kph!!) Fruit Bats etc.) Oh we also get the odd possum in the trees and fruit-bats in the trees (they love the mango trees - well any fruit trees - hence 'fruit-bat') There was a Cassawory there too - now these are amazing creatures. They are the worlds third largest bird (I think) they are facing extinction (which is sad) but they live in the rainforests of north Queensland... They are VERY territorial. They have these huge toes with claws that have been known - when attacking people to slice open people's necks and abdomen etc! Crazy! heh heh (now these are true) Then you've got your Crocodiles - but they're only in Far North Queensland and the Northern Territory. What so many tourists (read: stupid Americans) think is that Australia is a little island that they can travel around in in a few days. Totally wrong. Do you realise that Australia is larger than the US mainland!?! Major cities are much further apart. (I remember hearing these people (read: stupid American tourists :) ) ask someone if they could drive to Darwin for the day - hello that's like 2000km or something away!) LOL! *shakes head*. So yeah, come to Australia with the: World's deadliest Spider, world's deadliest Snake, Crocodiles, Dingoes, Great White Sharks, Box Jelly Fish etc etc! LOL! Andrew P.S. I've been stung by a blue-bottle jellyfish. [/QB][/QUOTE]
