so prove me wrong. it's common knowledge that most Australians reside in the southern part of the country due to inclement weather in other areas. even a kindergarten knows that

Okay, I'll start with Australias most dangerous snakes and where they are found in Austalia.

1- Eastern brown snake

'together with other browns, are responsible for more deaths every year in Australia than any other group of snakes.'

Found: throughout the eastern half of mainland Australia

2- Western brown snake

'the western brown snake is still highly dangerous and part of the group of snakes that causes the most fatalities in Australia'

Found: widespread over most of mainland Australia - absent only from the wetter fringes of eastern Australia and south-western Western Australia

3- Mainland tiger snake

Mainland tiger snakes are responsible for the second-highest number of bites in Australia, as they inhabit highly populated areas along the east coast, including some metropolitan areas of Melbourne.

Found: along the south-eastern coast of Australia, from New South Wales and Victoria to Tasmania and the far corner of South Australia

4- Inland Taipan

'considered to be the most potent of any land snake in the world; it has the potential to kill an adult human within 45 minutes.'

Found: in cracks and crevices in dry rocky plains where the Queensland, South Australia, New South Wales and Northern Territory borders converge

5- Coastal Taipan

'Coastal taipans are equipped with the longest fangs of any Australian snake (13mm), and have the third most toxic venom of any land snakes.'

Found: in an arc along the east coast from northern New South Wales to Brisbane and northern Western Australia. They are fond of sugarcane fields.

6- Mulga snake

'Mulgas bite savagely, even hanging on and chewing as they inject massive amounts of highly toxic venom,'

Found: throughout Australia, except in Victoria, Tasmania and the most southern parts of Western Australia - the widest distribution of any Australian snake

7- Lowland copperhead

'active in weather usually considered too cold for snakes. A water lover, copperheads snakes are at home around dams, soaks, canals, drainage ditches and along the verges of roads.'

Found: in relatively cool and cold climates in south-eastern Australia, southern Victoria, Tasmania and the islands of Bass Strait

8-Small eyed snake

'The venom contains a long-acting myotoxin that continues to attack muscle tissue (including the heart muscle) for days after the bite.'

Found: widely distributed along the east coast, from Victoria to Cape York

9- Southern death adder

Found: in eastern Australia (except the far north and south), southern South Australia and Western Australia

10- Red belied black snake

you're more likely to come across it in urban areas and its bite is certainly no picnic, causing significant illness and requiring medical attention.

Found: distributed down the east coast (though not to Tasmania) and slightly into south-eastern South Australia



You see, there are dangerous animals all over Australia, its Australia. Should I proceed with other dangerous animals and where they are found?

londoner:


Where do you live in Australia? Your assertion was to claim that southernpart of Australia does not have adverse weather or dangerous animals, thats untrue. Even in Victoria and Queensland there are natural disasters, such as bush fires and floods and even hurricanes. Dangerous animals are found ALL over Australia, including the SA, NSW, VIC, WA and QLD.

Many of the pics in this thread would be from states you term "southern part" of Australia.

I said most PEOPLE not ANIMALS live in the southern parts of Australia

londoner:


Yep, where "most people" live, is where where dangerous animals live also.

Your point, as I understood it, was that most people live in the south to get away from dangerous animals, and I am saying the dangerous animals are all over Australia.

Where do you live in Australia or where did you vacation there?
