Every foreigner thinks kangaroos are cute

Every aussie knows you don't go near one, they'll tear your stomach clean out your asshole

Koalas will fuck you up too

Basically all the things that are cute will fuck you up, and all the things that look scary aren't as bad as you think.. Except bogans after sinking all their money on piss and losing their last multi

Don’t you guys have salt water crocs, lots of venomous snakes, lots of venomous spiders and deadly jelly fish?

Yeah they're fine, box jelly fish are fucked but not all that common, deadly snakes are mostly in the bush ie not in cities and also not really predators, they scurry away. Spiders are fine for the most part. Crocs well yeah don't swim in a lake with crocs and you'll keep all your limbs, simple.

Eastern brown snakes are often in the cities, 2nd most venomous snake and most dangerous.

Blue ringed octopus are found throughout east coast beaches, including Sydney beaches.

Sydney Funnel Web spiders (most venomous) are found in Sydney urban home gardens all the time.

Don't need to worry about crocs so much but there are plenty of dangerous fauna you can come in contact with living in Australia's densest city
