In keeping with my theme of “Spider of the Day” and our recent post spruiking Australian “Adventure” Tourism, reader and fellow Sandgroper The Wizard of Woz has fowarded several posters for consideration by the Australian Alt-Tourism Commission.
In consideration of the sensibilities of some of our more spider-adverse readers, graphics are below the fold.

Funny thing is, the big ones are pretty harmless, they just give you a nasty bite.
Its the small ones you have to look out for, with symptoms like necrosis, nausea, vomiting, abdominal or chest pain, generalised sweating, headache, fever, hypertension and tremor. Oh, and occasionally death.
Still better than the snakes though…

Is there some way you can jump up and down in the air and not land anywhere?

Woz, they are just legendary. Thankyouthankyouthankyou.
I love spiders. I want another one, but I’m not allowed to have one. Not with 3 moggies, a goldfish and ruggies in the house.
Not to mention a housemate who is scared of them.
*sigh* life is cruel.

Brings back memories of the outdoor loo we had at our holiday house when I was a kid. It had lots of huntsman spiders running around the walls and on the floor it had scorpions. It made having a pee at night something of an adventure.
I can’t imagine why you Americans are afraid to visit us.
