I went to Aus on holiday when I was about 10 years old and was in a state of terror the whole time. We had to watch out for funnel spiders on the lawn in Sydney, sea-crocs on the beaches, stone-fish in the water, deadly jelly fish.

I'd come from South Africa where we all walked around bare foot the whole time, only to come to a land where every thing was poisonous enough to drop a horse, let alone a small child!

And don't get me started on emus!
