Oh, I absolutely believe in climate change. The climate of the planet earth has been constantly changing ever since it formed over four billion years ago.

Yeah it looks like it's the east coast's turn to have a rough summer but then's there is Perth's February still around the corner.
And for this one below, the short explanation is that wherever it is shaded purple on the map, it means you can essentially hear your skin cracklining straight away in the outdoors.

Even the herbivores over here are dangerous...
I had noticed an increase in the roo pop around that area recently too... Nearly hit one on the bike a few weeks back.

You know we love you Aussies here in America, right?
End of the day but still...
Happy Australia Day!

OK, it is a wel known fact that Australia has a lot of very venomous creatures. But there is no need to over do it. According to this article on Wikipedia there are outside Australia snakes which are higher on the list then on yours:

Yeah, determining 'most dangerous' is tricky - for example, despite all the VERY venomous snakes in Australia, we have very few deaths per year. Aussies around snakes tend to have a good attitude towards snakes (though by all means not always), and more importantly, we have very very good anti-venom and lots of it. We've got very good at toxicology here So from that perspective, while the inland taipan or the King Tiger might be VERY venomous, they don't kill nearly as many people as the cobra in India does... They also tend to be nowhere near as nasty as people think. Tigers are practically pansies (unless it's breeding season)!
6 of the most 10 most deadly by LD50 are found in Aus; nos. 1, 3, 4, 6,8 and 9.
by maximum fatalities from a single dose of venom; nos. 1, 3, and 4.
But it doesn't matter where it is on the scale when a bird throws one at you...

Further proof that flying anything in Australia is likely to be taken out by a Wedge Tail Eagle. (They have attacked hang gliders/parachutists in the past).

That's fucking awesome.
What happens in Australia if the cops pull you over and discover you have a working MP40 in the vehicle.
