Josem, Thanks for the thread.

No probs... hopefully it is of some value to people.

I see you started it a long time ago so I don't know if you've traveled to other places since you started it.

Not significantly... although I now live in a country town in north-eastern Victoria.

I visited Darwin for a month some time ago. Have you been there? If not I'd like to pass on how much I loved that place. I can't compare it to Sydney or anywhere else since Darwin is the only place I've visited. But for me it had everything. A casino, friendly people, horse track, and some nice ponds.

Sounds good to me... I'll look forward to visiting up there one day.

I am curious about all the snakes in Australia. Are they all poisonous and friggin everywhere?

Some are poisonous. I assume some are not.

I now live in a country town, and, with work, spend a fair amount of time in some rather rural areas. I certainly haven't seen a snake since moving down here six months ago, and can't ever recall seeing a snake in the wild in my entire life.

In Newcastle, on some rocks I saw some tiny, non-poisonous lizards, but that's abotu the extent of it.


Of course, if you spend time out of the cities bushwalking and stuff, I'm certain you'll come across them, but I assume it'll be no more or less frequent than if you did similar stuff in the continental US. In addition, I assume they're more common the further north you go.
