Says the guy with taipans and funnel-web spiders in his yard. You're also being very cheeky with that "land" qualifier. Your ocean is full of utter murder demons like sea snakes and stonefish.

There have been funnelwebs in my yard at times. Know what I do? Don't stick my fingers under logs/in suspicious funnel shaped webs in the yard and wear shoes. If I got bitten I'd just go to hospital and get the antivenom and have an unpleasant 2 days.

Taipans don't live near me, brown snakes do. Almost stepped on one once, know what I did? not do that and walked backwards slowly. The horror!

I guess if you're neurotic enough to think that's a real risk you're probs best to not come here.

It's all in good fun, man. I am somewhat exaggerating my position. Cheers, comrade.
