adder

Yes, really. I’ve had enough of comparing supermarket prices for fruit and veg, meat, fish and other stuff, let’s compare snake bite seasons. In just one weeks time it will be winter here in Australia. Where I live though, Brisbane, you really wouldn’t think it. Daytime temperatures have been sitting at around 25° to 27° [...]

cone snail

I have mentioned cone snails before on this website and I have a video about them on my page called Dangerous Creatures of Australia: More Bad Things! On the same page you will also see a list of some of our other dangerous sea life. I think it’s fair to say that danger lurks in [...]

Trumpets

On March 24, 2009 I wrote a post called “It’s a weed Jim, but not as we know it”. In that post I included a picture of a plant called Angel’s Trumpet and then said… “This plant is no angel but I can’t tell you about it here. It’s so bad is has to go [...]

No! They don’t call me Scrooge for nothing. It may be cold and Christmassy where you are, but here [...]

Gympie Gympie

When I was a small child, playing in the fields, parks and the countryside of the UK, there was one plant that we always had to make sure that we didn’t “literally” bump into. The stinging nettle. Yes, stinging nettles, object of great fear and source of enormous pain. As much as we knew about [...]

sharks

Previously here on BobinOz I have brought you many similar and scary posts. I don’t need to list them here, they are all featured on my page called… Australia’s Killer Creatures and Death But don’t click over to read that just yet, you can do it later. Today, I need to talk about… Sharks and [...]
