Unfortunately for us, Australia is not entirely populated only by friendly locals, cute koalas, and cool kangaroos. Sometimes, the Land Down Under seems like the most dangerous country on the planet and should be renamed to the Land of Nope. The country owes its reputation to the ruthless natural hazards, the savage animals which live there and all the creepy things which want to make us yell ‘nope!’ and run away faster than the speed of sound in the opposite direction.
To show you just how scary Australia can be, we created a list of all the dangers lurking in the Land Down Under. Keep scrolling and share with your friends:

Believe It Or Not, This Is One Of The Least Dangerous Spiders We Have In Australia
This is the huntsman spider, a common friend to be found in houses and garden across Australia. He's harmless really, don't let his large size intimidate you. Huntsmen won't bite humans unless provoked, are not venomous and are actually handy to have around the place, he'll use his speed and agility to keep your cockroach population under control.
Think of the huntsman as a handy pet. Respect his space, let him do his job and he'll look after you well.

Picture of a termite mound in the northern territory of Australia, termites build the tallest structures out of any of the creatures on Earth. Humans would have to build something 10km (6.2 miles for those not on the metric system) tall to equal the scale of size of person to building. Termite mounds are also stronger than cement.
