Glad you made it out of the land down under. Those Drop Bears are nasty little creatures indeed!

What’s that, the kuala’s tough cousin from the country?
Looks vicious.

It's a joke/hoax--(that's a photo shopped picture)---kind of like 'Snipe Hunting' here in the states.

Don't forget the peeing on a nettle sting...by the way, don't pee on a nettle sting. It doesn't work.

Edit: ...by the way. It doesn't work for jellyfish stings either

Makes me wonder who would have believed that in the first place--I didn't fall for the Snipe thing on my first camping trip when the older scouts tried to pull it on me when I was 12 years.

My Aussie co-workers tried to pull the drop bear stuff on me, but I didnt fall for it. I knew drop bears are only in Tazmania.

I think all creatures in Australia are sweeties... I even have a pic from another trip where I am petting a wallaby. OK, maybe I wouldnt do that with a 'roo... or, um... pretty much any other insect, mammal, marsupial, bird, reptile, etc... in Australia. Hell, the ant hills on Mt Ainsley were almost waist high! I also saw a spider bigger then my fist and his web was a good 12 feet wide! No joke!

Yeah I didn't fall for the peeing on your leg either. My answer to the snipe hunt was to go back to just outside the campsite and wait till they went looking for me in a panic....not really but I wish I had a chance to use that one. Never experienced the snipe hunt first hand.

Here's what the spiders are like in Florida

Stinging nettles ain't no joke.!
I've gotten into a patch of um, more than once.

Hurts like hell don't it?
