    Hiking in remote Tasmania, 4 hours from anyone else, let alone help and almost stepped on a tiger snake. Thankful that they left me be to enjoy the rest of my walking tour.

    Australia tried to kill me a few times.

      Ah true, I kind of forget about those ones. I stepped on a brown snake while running (kept running), lay down in the shade right next to a death adder (started running), had a tiger snake come under my front door (started murdering).

      My brother got bitten by a rough scale, probably would have died if he wasn’t built like a particularly large brick shithouse after they gave him the wrong antivenom…
