This is a link post The 6 deadliest animals (Smaller than your shoe)
This has a bit of interest to me as three on the list are native to Australia, where I'm planning to move to next year.

Edit: Subconsciously following on with the shoe theme.

This is a normal post Australia is probably one of the most fabulous places on the planet!
I moved here from the UK 3 years ago. Sure I've found redbacks in my back garden but they soon benefit from a healthy dose of size 11!

Dont fear the beasties!

This is a normal post I'd love to go there,
But I hate bugs.

How does a beastiephobic cope in Austrailia?

This is a normal post I lived there for 12 years and will be going back soon
I never came across anything dangerous unless I was looking for it.

This is a normal post That's good news.
My skin is crawling at the thought of bugs.

This is a normal post Yeah the fact that it wanders scares me
I hate spiders. Rest assured that you have to generally go looking for anything that will hurt you in Oz. But just to be extra safe dont go to Sydney. Then you dont have to worry about Sydney Funnel Webs. Its one less nasty to think about.

This is a normal post I've lived in Australia since 2002
it's great and i hate bugs and spiders.
never seen a funnel web, not once.

And you are allowed to be scared of spiders here, because some of them can kill you. It's great.

Big arse cockroaches in sydney though, not harmful but uuuuuuurgh

This is a normal post I nearly picked a cone shell up when I was learning to dive on the Barrier Reef
I was very quickly corrected by my mistake and lived to tell the tail :)

This is a normal post The instructor told me most people drown
as they are usually in the water or under the water your basically buggered if your on your own and dont get to the surface within 30 seconds. But you have a good chance if you can get yourself out of the water. Then you as the site says they just have to keep you alive till your body can get rid of the poison.

This is a normal post I want to try scuba diving over there.
I want to say to my grandkids that I dived the great barrier reef.

This is a normal post Just to give you teh fear
Australia has (I think) 16 of the world's top 20 most poisionous snakes, (including all of the top 12). Add to that box jellyfish, redback spiders, blue ringed octopus, the Sydney funnel-web, great white sharks (probably the safest thing on this list), fire coral, cone shells, and saltwater crocs, it's not the safest place in the world. Enjoy! ;-)

This is a normal post Even the cuddly little platypus has poisonous spurs on its back legs.

This is a normal post Read the bit about them in my profile.
Also to the OP, I'll probably be the biggest Spider in Australia at that time. ;-)

This is a normal post Only the males though...
and they aren't that toxic. I was only listing the deadly ones! ;-)

And platypus have rather odd fur, its very bristle-like so if you stroke it normally, it is very soft, but backwards it's very spiky and hard.

This is a normal post Then again, there aren't kids in hoodies threatening to knife you over a couple of dollars
I guess it all evens out

This is a normal post Some idiot tried to mug me 5 years ago with a blunt kitchen knife.
I stalled him long enough to remove the 10" chef's knife from my bag, recently sharpened,
and convinced him to piss off promptly.
I'm not saying this'll work all the time, but have talked myself out of a mugging at 4 in the morning by a couple of junkies once,
I know how to go about both types of negotiations, so to speak.

Please please please say yes.

This is a normal post No, but I wish I had now. :-(
Seriously though, my first thought was to get into my bag, witty chat went out the window.

This is a normal post i have very big feet, so you can put more deadly animals on my list.
i'm sure my shoes are larger than the wiggles and rupert murdoch, in keeping with your aussie theme (and general toxicity).
