I didnt see any Funnel Webs as they tend to be more NSW based and I was up in Brisbane. We used to get Redbacks though, and Golden Orb spiders. The Golden Orbs could be quite aggressive if you disturbed them accidentally. The Redbacks you just had to watch out for as they'd sneak into shoes and hats and stuff, and bite you if you put them on!

I think the Taipan is number one or number two on the snake list, and the Eastern Brown is about number 5 or something. I managed to run a brown over on my bike actually, but fortunately I was moving so fast I was gone before he could have a go at me..! He was sunning himself on a path on a hill, and I came along on my bike.

The Sydney Funnelweb is, I think, number one or two on the spiders list. I saw one in a display once, that some lunatic had caught, and they're not actually that big. Maybe 3" across I would say. But man it was aggressive, banging its fangs against the glass tank and rearing up on its legs.
