Australia: Home of a ton of fucked up animals that will KILL YOUR ASS! Oh...and melanoma.

Yeah, with the humidity and the temp, plus the sun on your bloody white arse, you're probably adjusting....uh.....well done. Oh. And don't mention Paul Hogan or god damn Steve Irwin. Dude, they hate those fuckers. You're libel to get strung.
There's some vague recollection of Perth stirring in the back of my mind, but I'm forgeting exactly what it is. Part of me is thankful (the pious), and the other half is pissed (the idealist).

Arthropods of Mass Destruction
"A large family of crabs native to Australia and common on the Great Barrier Reef can be as deadly to humans as any large sea animal. The green shawl crab, a member of that family, is only 3cm (1 inch) across the carapace, but can have enough saxitoxin to kill 3,000 people."

Yeah, there was a thing on the news last week about yet more increases in cancer (particularly <i>eye</i> cancer)
So if you don't get eaten by bees or whatever, the solar radiation will get you.

You know, if you're trying to make Scots have second thoughts, it's already a bit too late... On the other hand, if you're trying to shake him up before the meetup so that you can get him drunk more easily, I'm not saying anything ;)

while the west coast is cool and mild, we havent had one day over 33 degrees this summer!
Temperatures around 30 degrees are only cool and mild if you're Satan.

It hit 45 degrees here on monday, second hottest day in NSW since record keeping began.
Oh my god. How do you
do anything in that kind of heat?
