No its perfectly safe here. I have never seen half the deadly creatures myself and the other half I saw at a zoo.Lillyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-77246693528159180532009-03-04T13:32:00.000+11:002009-03-04T13:32:00.000+11:00Hi Lily,<BR/><BR/>I thought was going to read about Daddy Long Legs -the novel. and as I opened your blog, there it is, a scary spider with very long legs. I such a scaredy cat, I get scared by so many things- even the big house spider or the house mouse, i don't even like the white mouse, i can't stand their tails.<BR/><BR/>You can imagine my fright when I tried googling the Inland Talipan and the photos appeared on my screen. Just the mere of a real snake would probably kill me. Seriously, i don't even want to see them in photos or tv.<BR/><BR/>Did you get to see the Sphere movie? where everyone who gets into the Sphere gets hallucinations of the thing they fear most! that movie (or the idea) still scares me up to this day.<BR/><BR/>Although, I do love animals, i'm not reptiles and insects and amphibians. to which family do rats and mice belong? <BR/><BR/>as for the mosquito... yeah, it can be very deadly too.<BR/><BR/>ps,<BR/><BR/>i'd love to go visit Australia, my sister had been there and I didn't really have the impression that it's a land full of deadly animals. <BR/><BR/>the first thing that comes to my mind with Australia is the adorable, loveable, gentle Koala. That and avocadoes, and kangaroo. <BR/><BR/>and now, the name Lily also comes to mind. You have made Australia a more familiar place for me, even though i've never been there.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18309473265741405080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-19671868813193454832009-01-30T10:27:00.000+11:002009-01-30T10:27:00.000+11:00Don't they look elegant? <BR/>No home is a happy home without a spider :-DFidahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17870521870676612316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-56175959398951812382009-01-22T13:19:00.000+11:002009-01-22T13:19:00.000+11:00That totally reminded me that I need to go on an Australian safari before I die.

It wasn't him. Still gives me prickles up my back. I don't like huntsmen at the best of times, but nudity made me feel so much more vulnerable.Hippomanic Jenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12285378246081322317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-58391501403071329892009-01-18T15:42:00.000+11:002009-01-18T15:42:00.000+11:00That is still one big creepy spider...

That is one nasty spider and after reading that article I have a healthy respect for your wildlife!<BR/>Thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog--does it show that I have an excess of creative energy? To answer your question, I have a masters degree in music and am a professional opera singer (lyric soprano)--right now I'm staying busy with my sweet girls and not to worried about furthering my career. I still keep my voice in good shape, sing locally, and unleash the rest of the creativity in the kitchen and doing fun things with the girls.:) As soon as I had my first child, I knew the "Day of the Diva" was over--I was smitten and knew there was no way I could leave them every day. Luckily, my husband has a good job so I can stay home with them.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your weekend! I hope you don't encounter any mice.:)Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09715019686978266807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-71082070911790753232009-01-18T08:00:00.001+11:002009-01-18T08:00:00.001+11:00@ torAa - thanks for dropping by<BR/><BR/>@ The Blonde Duck - well you give us wonderful stories bubble or not.<BR/><BR/>@ Jeanne - well I hope you get the chance - truly nless you went into the outback you wont see much except the two legged creatures.<BR/><BR/>@ Rocketman - thanks for dropping by<BR/><BR/>@ Dawnie - yes it was in the window.
