A friend of mine was holidaying in a B&B on Phillip Island. She was feeding a young possum with a piece of fruit and it bit her on the toe! She spent the next 12 hours in hospital on IV ABs as Buruli prophylaxis.
Watching Extinction (David Attenborough) on TV. So discouraging. ps. Had to stop watching it. Animal cruelty etc. rhino horn collection, tiger bone trade etc. for one region and for money. Cultural practices my arse!
There are a lot of scary critters down under. Such a vast empty amount of desert as well. Coober Pedy is just a mesmerizing place, isn't it?
What if I were to pay you $10M US and build you an underground house with an Olympic size pool and a spa and an amazing hydroponic garden and nymphs and sprites and elves for servants?
Inverloch? Dutson Downs? Port Welshpool? All fascinating places. And you have no worries about typhoons along that coast, yes? Or all the way over to Mallacoota? What a plush looking little community that appears to be.
No, closer to Melbourne. A friend has moved to Port Welshpool. She loves it. the typhoons are found on the coasts of Northern Australia. Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland.and New South Wales. poor Mallacoota was the scene of horrifying images during the fires of 2019. https://www.theguardian.com/austral...e-to-sea-as-victorian-town-burns-video-report

Geologist and author Lance Karlson was about to take a dip near the resort he and his family were staying at in Geographe Bay, on Australia's southwest coast, when he spotted what he thought was the tail of a stingray emerging from the water and striking a seagull. Upon walking closer with his two-year-old daughter, he discovered it was an octopus, and took a video, which shows the animal in shallow water take a sudden strike in Karlson's direction with its tentacles. "The octopus lashed out at us, which was a real shock," Karlson said in emailed comments to Reuters. . . . There is a video I can't ref. beyond the link to the article Moi
Wow, what a freaking nightmare. I guess the Google map satellite images must be before the fire. 20 hours to evacuate by sea to Melbourne, good lord. There's an aerial infrared video clip that seemingly shows the whole world on fire. https://www.theage.com.au/national/...s-at-mallacoota-unfolded-20200117-p53sdn.html
How about those Keystone cops? “Man knifed, police car stolen, officers bitten by dogs in crime cavalcade A police car was stolen, a man left stabbed, several cars smashed and police officers bitten by police dogs during a young man’s rampage across Melbourne’s north on Saturday night. Police have said it was a miracle that nobody died during the series of incidents including a 27-year-old Mickleham man speeding at up to 200km/h in a stolen police car through residential streets. .... One police officer who was bitten by the police dog was also undergoing surgery for their injuries. One of the drivers of the stationary cars hit at the traffic lights was taken to hospital for a check-up. Despite the stabbing, the damage to the police car and other cars and the dog-biting incident, Superintendent Howard said the night’s events “could have been a lot worse”.” From the Melbourne Age yesterday.
All a prank. A late April Fools joke. It was actually directed by Guy Ritchie as part a new super avant-garde film he's working on. *** I could not possibly have read that correctly - it was his own brother that he stabbed in the abdomen?
Typhoons rarely get south of Brisbane, so only a tiny percentage of the population is at risk. Fires & floods are the main natural disasters in the populated regions, and fires are by far the most deadly. Even then, only rural areas and urban fringes are at risk. The majority of people are fine. We don't have an equivalent to the large US cities at risk from typhoons. Of course, pretty much every living creature is a risk to life and limb. I live close to the centre of a major city and have a backyard that is about 5x5 meters and mostly paved. There are at least 3 species of animal I have seen there than could kill me, and another that is reponsible for attacks that have killed people under circumstances not relevant to me and one more that has bitten me on one occasion (My fault). The parks near my house are also full of snakes at certain times of year. Where I grew up - in the country - we would find deadly snakes in the school yard. My mother grew up in a small town bakery with fields behind it. The snakes would come in in the morning for the warmth of the ovens. My grandfather could kill a poisonous snake without thinking twice. Another ancestor used to catch snakes to sell to doctors who would extract the venom. All par for the course in Australia.
