Australian sunscreens are also reef safe
The blue 'whatever this is' is a blue angel sea slug and is in fact poisonous. So yeah, don't touch it
I live in south Florida, and buy aussie sunscreen online because it really does work better, and Florida sun is no joke either
Don't leave your shoe's outside keep it in an impenetrable closet.
As a Queenslander I agree - that said, the bats are lovely, not out to get you but they carry Hendra virus. Donβt touch or you will die.
Don't let this keep you from coming to Australia, moved here almost 15 years and haven't regretted it once. Adelaide has treated me good!
βYou either run at 5am or never at allβ π
As an Aussie running after 6pm with bat makes me feel like Bruce Wayne
Addendum: It is, however, legally mandatory to run if you see a magpie. π
Re Hole in Ozone Layer: It gone! We actually fixed that problem
SMACK π YOUR π SHOES π if you leave them outside (not a good idea)/a porch/ basement - they're a perfect place for bugs and creepy crawlies. Give them a good bash by throwing them on the floor & kick em about a bit, if nothing comes out then you're good to go
The flying foxes are lovely fruit bats, they are all vulnerable or endangered, so please be kind to the bats. They won't hurt you.
4. Don't be afraid of quokkas. Don't touch them in the wild, but they're quite friendly little guys and mean you no harm.
"Don't touch it" Love that one. And I had no idea about the sunscreen. This was very valuable.
We use welding gloves in the Vet clinic to handle cute fluffy possums, their claws and teeth are no joke π
Basically everything in Australia is out to get you even the sun βοΈ but Australia is still amazing
Since I lived in Australia, I don't bother with sunscreen anymore : I wear long sleeves shirt and giant hats. Everything covered and the sun can't get through. I once had a sunburn through a white scarf that became wet cause of the sweat.... still have scars from it 10 years later.
I love the "Don't touch it" rule, more tourists need to be aware of that. And if you see a Dingo, please don't approach it or try to feed it, just keep away, so many are "euthanised" because of the stupid actions of ignorant tourists π’π
Number 3 is mainly; check what times it is safe to run or walk in, in whatever area you're in. Some urban places in some states are fine. And its just the people you worry about (like you would anywhere else). Like in my area and my state (NSW, border of NSW and VIC), it's fine.. just depends on the temp. It might even be too cold depending on the season. Like it's too cold rn..
