RE: A night out

in Outdoors and more6 months ago

Don't need to Google it. That's the most venomous snake on world if I'm not mistaken. Yesterday I saw a Goliath Stick Bug and knew it had to be Australian. Gotta give it to the Aussies and their Bad-Boss-Tier animals. Anyways, I guess there's lots of bad things you could find around.

That's a cool thing. Hard-earned trust is a luxury commodity these days.

Ah ok, so you know about it...Getting bitten by one isn't pleasing I'm told...best not to find out. Lol.

We have some crazy shit here man, no doubt, but it's generally safe, if one has a little understanding, So many (in the cities) would never have seen a crocodile, snake, shark, irukandji, deadly spider and so on in person other than maybe at a zoo or aquarium; out further though it's common place.

Yeah, I used to watch a lot of Animal Planet. Very crazy stuff you have around there. But it seems interesting to be in a place where you can talk about the dangers of going into the open with such amazing creatures.

with some knowledge and respect it's generally safe enough. I mean, things happen like people getting taken by crocodiles and sharks, stung by irukandji (which is agonising and can result in death) but if the warnings are heeded then no worries. Well, except for sharks, they can be anywhere I guess and strike indiscriminately. I don't like snakes and spiders man, but they're there across the road from my house only a hundred metres away (and all over the place as well) so we have to live with them. Going to places like in this post increases the chances of seeing them but if one makes some noise they bugger off before they can be seen usually...which is an issue because when stalking game one has to be very quiet.

I hope you get to find out someday, I'd be happy to show you how it all goes if the opportunity permitted. Well, not with the sharks though, you're on your own there.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. Don't worry. I don't need to be near sharks. The other part sound interesting. It would awesome to go around the Australian outbacks with someone who knows some interesting facts about it.

DDid you know we call surfers shark biscuits. Lol.

It's all good though, they know the risks and seem happy to accept them.

Is @riverflows aware of this? She's a shark biscuit! 😂

Well, everything comes with a risk attached.

Surfers (or anyone else who goes into the ocean) know the risk, just like a skydiver knows the risks involved with jumping out of a plane. Most get away with it, some do not...but there's no shortage of people out there doing it. That's all good...what's not all good is the authorities hunting down sharks and killing them because they ate a human after mistaking it for their food. That's typical disgusting human behaviour.
