They will kill you.....As you'll probably be diving.... It makes avoiding death a long trip to the surface and hopefully, you'll attract someone's attention while in a massive amount of pain.....Geographer cone snail (Conus geographus)...scared me since childhood:

Dived in Darwin harbour. Found my hand about 4" away from one..... If it's going to happen...... Much more likely to get shot accidentally in the US.....I'd get out of there first....That is why I will NEVER visit Australia.
I'd love to be able to go back and visit Australia again. It is an amazing place and you meet great people. What more could you want.That is why I will NEVER visit Australia.

That was mostly a joke I’d love to visit I’ll just have to look up how each animal will try and kill meI'd love to be able to go back and visit Australia again. It is an amazing place and you meet great people. What more could you want.
I figured as much but I couldn't stop my fingers. We spent 2 years in Queensland and loved it. Didn't knowingly get up and close to anything too dangerous. One thing I know they don't have is the 14" of snow we have or predicted low for tonight of 3F.That was mostly a joke I’d love to visit I’ll just have to look up how each animal will try and kill me

This is a venomous spider in Australia. This one is bigger than normal. It was captured so it's venom could be used to make antidotes.View attachment 625623
Holy crap. How many people die each year from snake bites? By the looks of that list it must be crawling with snakes everywhere.
What is your source for this? (The Eastern diamondback, for example, makes this list not for the quality of its venom, but for the quantity of its venom [per bite].). Many scholars would put Bungarus multicinctus (banded krait, SE Asia) at least as high as #9. (Ask Joe Slowinski. . .) Australia still has an amazing percentage of venomous species, and not just of snakes!
In Rick Wakeman's book he talks about people screaming at him not to go out into the woods next to the fairway looking for the ball when he was golfing in Australia. He said he didn't even get penalized a stroke... just drop a new one and get on with it.
