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.

Spiders are fine for the most part

More rural areas do have a highly venomous one i.e. Red Back spiders which do like to hang about around toilets.

yeah I get red backs near my place too but not all that much as so long as you don't antagonise them you should be ok.. and even then, no ones died from a red back bite for like 30+ years I think.
