I work with a Aussie as well, he's a real good guy, I kinda feel sorry for his country. Australia has the most dead-least snakes and spiders in the world, there temperatures in the deserts are some of the highest in the world and drouts as well, the seas have the box jellyfish, great whites, etc.. Then you have all the satellite and space junk from all the big space players keep raining there junk all over their island. Then on top of that, they have a government that is cracking down on knives, guns, crossbows, etc.. So basically you are in the target zone no matter what you do there, rough living, but their are some nice places to live there, you just have to keep on your toes.
