Snakes in spokes? I just unlocked a new fear 😄 At least that part doesn't have big dangerous predators, so it's relaxing. While I enjoy being in nature here, I'm always on alert mode 🐻

From bears? Just insane.
I honestly don't know why people say Australia is scary when you have bears...
There are several possible key threats here when hiking: bears, cougars, and coyotes. Wolves too if you're in the backcountry. They could be hiding anywhere along the trail, so it's important to have deterrents like pepper spray, bear bangers, etc. So right from the beginning, you have to be thinking about potential dangers and how to deal with them. To fend off a bear, you have to know its colour. A cougar will grab you by the neck, so you might need to Judo it off you. Coyotes will snipe at you from the bushes. And wolves will wait for you at Grandma's house, or so I hear. By the time you make it to the trail, you're all pumped up and ready for a fight. But it's also very relaxing
Absolutely mental. I have no idea why Australia gets such a bad rap. That sounds like my nervous system about to spontaneously combust.

Specially in the old days prior to the Internet, I think Canadians had an almost superstitious belief about Australia's dangers. It was likely fueled by this gentleman's popularity.
Ha yes. Also are you familiar with Russel Coight?
I did not catch that show when it came out, but it looks hilarious. I just saw a clip of him spearing a platypus. It truly seems genuine, so you Aussies can pretty much make up any yarn, and I'll believe it.
It's daft as. Try this one.
He lives in my town, as does his brother. We often see him swimming or having a coffee on the weekend and have a chat. Nice bloke.
