Australia’s Bad Things

Snake Bite Dangers in Australia: What To do….

7 November 2011 Australia's Bad Things

It would be wrong of me to write articles such as Australian Snakes and Death: Continued, if I wasn’t also prepared to write about snakes when a fatality occurs. I have always defended snakes and played down the dangers they present to the residents of Australia. With good reason too; anyone who has read that [...]

More Itsy Bitsy Teeny Scary Australian Things

19 October 2011 Australia's Bad Things

Australia has a pretty good selection of itsy-bitsy teeny scary creatures and I’ve mentioned a few before on this blog. I have previously described the mosquito as Australia’s biggest baddest thing. And I first looked at Australia’s ants back in May 2009 and re-looked at them again this year. Well, more specifically, I looked at [...]

A Flying Fish Film by BobinOz

7 October 2011 Australia's Bad Things

As you probably know, I’ve written a lot about whale watching. If it is possible to aspire to being good at whale watching, so far, I haven’t. If there were a whale watching competition, I wouldn’t qualify for the finals; it’s even possible I could come last. But maybe my “watching” talents lie elsewhere. Let’s [...]

Asian House Geckos: An Australian Bad Things Upgrade

26 September 2011 Australia's Bad Things

It was almost two and a half years ago that I wrote a post called Australia’s NOT Bad Things. It featured a little creature we get quite a few of around the house and at the time I described them as “cute”. Cute is not a word I would use to describe them today. More [...]

A Blue Tongue Lizard Love Story

9 September 2011 Australia's Bad Things

Well, maybe. It’s been quite a while since I reported on any intruders in or around my house, must be something to do with winter. But spring is here now and much of the wildlife is waking up, as you saw from the recent snake pictures taken in a back garden from the suburb next [...]

Crocodiles in Australia: On the Street!

29 July 2011 Australia's Bad Things

Crocs in Cairns I have mentioned crocodiles quite a lot on this blog, but as I live in Brisbane I’ve never seen one in the wild and it’s very unlikely that I ever will this far south in the state. But in Far North Queensland, or FNQ as it’s known, crocodile sightings are becoming more [...]

Fire Ants in Australia: The Red Imported Threat is Back!

8 July 2011 Australia's Bad Things

I first wrote about the fire ant in May 2009. In that article, called tiny itsy-bitsy small Australian bad thing, I said “Fortunately, the Red Imported Fire Ant has pretty much been eradicated or controlled.” Wrong! Anybody who lives in South or North America will know these nasty little nippers are not that easy to [...]

10 Reasons Why NOT to Move to Australia

1 July 2011 Australia's Bad Things

As you saw from Wednesday’s post, the OECD has found Australia the best country in the world to live in. But that is not an opinion shared by everybody. For some time I have been working on a post called ’10 Reasons Why NOT to Move to Australia’. When I say “working on”, what I [...]
