    I know. I also don’t like when my feet can’t touch the ground, so there’s that, too.

    I’m also mad allergic to bug bites (mosquitoes and spiders are really bad), so I try to avoid anything that bites.

    Still learning about Australia. I’ve survived for almost 6 years now, I think I’m doing okay.

      Fair fair. You’ll want to avoid bulldog ants if you’ve got allergies. I know the natural inclination is to get close because they’re so fascinating but they’re particularly known for provoking anaphylaxis :(

        Oh boy. Yes, I have come across those on some hikes. It’s unnerving how they look up at you as if they are sizing you up, and walk backwards while still looking at you. Didn’t know about the anaphylaxis, only know that the bites are very painful. Thank you!
