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. (click for full size)

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…

I will take a snake any day of the week over a spider… EWWWWWW

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.
November 18, 2012, 10:32 am at 10:32 am
Uh Gee…. I wonder!!!
The worse I have to worry about is sharp toys that my kid lays around the house.

Half of those spiders just look ugly and are really harmless.

Bear Grills calls it Man vs Wild — In Australia we just call it Camping!

In Melbourene we call it a BBQ under the pergola :p

How much bear could Bear Grylls grill if Bear Grylls could grill bear?

You might think this is a collection of scary photos. I’ve seen each and every one of these occurrences for real by the time I was twelve. You can’t even escape them by running into the ocean since we have sharks they filmed to use in the movie Jaws. That’s right, the stuff of your Movie Nightmare Shark in the US is a normal shark minding its own business in Australia. The snakes, crocodiles and parasitic flesh eating bacteria eat the rest. Welcome to Jumanji.

Hahaha, I’ve had reasonable sized spiders crawl up my leg in the shower. It was only a huntsman though, so it was pretty meh. Tickled a little.
