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!

I'd love to go there,
But I hate bugs.
How does a beastiephobic cope in Austrailia?

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

My skin is crawling at the thought of bugs.

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.

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
