    I knew of most of these already, but seriously it's freakishly ridiculous. I don't really have much of a fear of spiders, but #19 creeped me the eff out...

    I think the only thing they left off the list is the stress/anxiety of anything and everything being able to kill you, actually killing you...

    I think if I were to go on a surf trip down under natural selection would take me out in a heartbeat lol

    These reasons are why I'd love to live there it's radical and exteme. All we got is bull sharks and tigers ,cottonmouths and alligators.. Coral and rattlesnakes. Black widows and brown recluse. South Carolina... The Australia of the us.

    Always amazed by Australia and it's people.
    Dangerous land, animals, etc
    Best surfers in the world I believe. West Oz is so gnarly especially.
    I wouldn't even call anything on the east coast US even surfing compared to the waves out there honestly. The average joe out there is as good as your local pro.
    Even the Crocodile Hunter could rip in his safari browns.

    I have heard that the sun is way more intense than on this end of the world. The news had a blurb about how it's a law that kids are covered and slathered with sunscreen. Had footage of sunscreen stations along the side walks with people with pump sprayers hosing peoples uncovered areas.

    I've always felt the same about Africa.
    -You have the sharkiest waters in the world.
    - You go in the plains and you have lions, snakes and scorpions.
    - Go in the river and you have crocs and hippos(deadliest animal on earth)
    - go to the jungle and you have gorillas.
    - Go to the bar and pick up a chick and you get AIDS
    - Not to mention the African Warlords that kill for fun.

    Gnarliest place on earth in my opinion.

    Know why the birds fly upside down over SC? There's nothing worth pooping on. Flawda is way more dangerous. Sharks gators crocs 20 ft pythons and humans with guns everywhere. Git some south cackalacki!
