    I'm sure I heard somewhere, I might have read it in Bill Bryson's excellent book Down Under that Australia has more Posionous animals and plants than anywhere else in the World! I don't think that Sydney is bad compared to other parts of OZ, but there are still a few shocks in store! We arrived shellshocked after a 24 hour flight with no sleep, to meet up with my wife Jenny's estranged relatives, as we were shown round our part of their house were we were to stay. As we were shown the cupboards in the kitchen this enormous object fell onto the work surface! We quickly ushered the kids out of the room as this unfolded, it turned out that this monster of a spider was perfectly harmless, a Huntsman we were told! Still the nerves were shattered before seeing it! Also in OZ it is a cardinal sin to leave the flyscreens open.

    Watch out for the wild Kangeroos on Pebby Beach, just south of Sydney!! If they think you have food for them they will chase you!!! But you can get some good pictures of them for a price!! (about half a bag of food is the going rate)

    In Sydney there were flies everywhere (especially at the beaches) and cockroaches in most pub / restaurant gardens!

  • Some people wonder about dangerous animals. Honestly there is no problem, especially if you're in the city. Just remember the following. - You can't pick up a snake or spider and take it home. - If you're bush walking tell someone where you're going and take plenty of water and a first aid kit. - Don't approach any wild animals and don't feed them.

  • on the beach always swim betweent the flags! There could be some real dangerous streams around and many people get killed during the year. Also be aware of spiders, never walk barefoot! Australia is the country with lost of dangerous animals: sharks, snakes, spiders. Alsways keep this in mind!

    Apparently it is ok to touch some of the native animals, provided you see them in a wildlife park, near someone who works there!! Terry, my tourguide, gave us a lot of information about this before we entered the park!! KANGEROOS: DO NOT TOUCH THEIR EARS!! But u can stroke them under the chin, but if you see they are about to jump, let them and move! WOMBATS AND KOALAS: They have surprisingly sharp teeth, so be careful, but just don't stroke near their mouth!!

    Spiders / Snakes / Animals: Cockroaches

  • One thing you will notice about Sydney is that there are a lot of cockroaches. Don't be alarmed if you are eating at an outdoor restaurant and you see them on the floor. Or in your hotel room. It happens. They can't help it, so don't put the blame on anyone working at a place you see one. If it doesn't happen to you, it is actually funny. I was eating at a very nice restaurant which I will not name, and an older lady at the table next to me was all dressed up, and a cockroach was climbing on her arm. She knocked over her glass and plate, screamed hysterically, and jumped out of her chair until my friend stepped on it. I know it's mean, but I couldn't help but laugh.
