Spree Killer - Martin Bryant - 1996
At the time he made #2 in the world for number of victims when he went on a rampage at a tourist destination called Port Arthur. Martin killed 35 people and wounded a further 18 during his rampage. Unlike many spree killers Martin was caught alive and will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Interestingly enough, this resulted in a national campaign to tighten gun laws such that they have become some of the tightest in the world.

The only reason these animals and insects have not claimed more lives is because of anti venom ;) mark my words, if you are bitten in a remote area and can not get help in a specified time. You will die.
You just described what happens everywhere. If you get bitten by anything and you're in a remote area, you could. Not just in Australia, everywhere.

Rolph Harris. Could kill any man with one swift swipe of his brush. If you get to close he will utilise his metal sheet an make scary sounds until you flee in terror.

When help is not help...
On 14 July 2001, night on a desert road, a car is waved down by another motorist indicating trouble with their exhaust. Once they have pulled over the man pulls a gun, ties up the girl, puts a sack over her head and forces her into the back of his canopied ute. Her boyfriend is taken away by the man. The girl escapes and hides in the desert until the man leaves and the next day flags down a car. Her boyfriend is never found....
This true event is the basis for one of the scariest movies you can see "Wolf Creek".

iv just emirgrated to australiaYou always see advertisements on travel inviting you to come to Australia. They tell you how unique the place is both in flora and fauna. How friendly the locals are, and how beautiful the weather is. Guess what, they lied. Australia is possibly the most dangerous country in the world, pretty much everything here will kill you. In this thread I plan on enlightening you as to why you should not come here.
Then again, us Aussies have a perverse sense of humour and would not want to live anywhere else, (visit sure, but we all still call Australia home). We take a weird pride in the fact that in every backyard in Sydney the worlds deadliest spider abounds and yet we let our kids run around barefoot.

Oh regular everyday car accidents are not what we are talking about here. This is your car breaking down, and you die from exposure to the elements because you can't get to civilization or be found and rescued in time.That doesn't make austalia deadly at all. I'm from California, more people die from car accidents and homicides than any of these combined. I wouldn't be worried about The snakes, I mean #2 has killed 20 in 32 years lol really more people die doing jumping jacks.
Personally I want to visit australia, possibly for a relocation. I know it's a hard country to gain citizenship though so who knows. But you should be talking about how awesome that place is. 😃 -

Haha sweet my very own personalized tour and bite. I'm in!! Sorry but right now I live in Yuma, Arizona and the same stands true here if you break down in dessert you may die from the elements as well.

Serial Killers, well in a country based on convict settlement we have had them from the get go. I've only bothered to list them if they had at least a half dozen victims.
John Bunting, Robert Wagner and James Vlassakis: also known as "Bodies in the Barrels Murders"; convicted of the Snowtown murders of 11 people between 1992 and 1999
Eric Edgar Cooke: also known as "The Night Caller"; killed at least 8 people; last person to be hanged in Western Australia

Even though I will never visit Austraila, this is a great thread to read. Thanks Hyena! If you ever want to meet, I'm in Oklahoma 😉

John Wayne Glover: also known as "The Granny Killer"; killed six elderly women on Sydney's North Shore; committed suicide in 2005
John and Sarah Makin: late 19th century baby farmers who killed and buried 12 children at a succession of their homes
Ivan Milat: killed at least seven tourists in Belanglo State Forest, New South Wales; suspected in similar disappearances in Newcastle. There are about 40 missing people who were backpacking up and down the Pacific Highway when Ivan Milat was working on the road.
The Truro murders is the name given to a series of murders uncovered with the discovery in 1978 and 1979 of the remains of two young women in bushland near the town of Truro, South Australia. After police searches, the remains of seven women were discovered in total: five at Truro, one at Wingfield, and one at Port Gawler. The women had been murdered over a two month period in 1976–1977.

Awesome read though thanks gives you a lot to think about

Australia's most deadly sport is fishing...
Rock fishing to be precise. This is where to get access to deeper ocean waters (without access to a boat) the fisherman goes out onto a rock ledge and casts his line out to sea hoping for bigger fish. So what gets these fishermen? Sharks, Blue Ringed Octopus, Giant Alien Squid? None of the above, it's the waves... King waves come in, sweep the feet out from under the fisherman then drag him out to sea. There they drown (you have to remember these people are dressed for fishing not swimming, further there are no lifeguards on rock ledges) often in sight of fellow fishermen unable to rescue them in time without losing their own life. How deadly? 150 fatalities in 20 years...

Crocs, your not even safe on land....
Up in Darwin a Tourist asks a local if there are any sharks in the water to be worried about. The local replies, nahhhh no sharks mate. And as the tourist starts towards the water he continues, No sharks, the crocs ate them all....
These are the last of the living dinousaurs, they can swim faster than an olympic swimmer, hold their breath longer, can weigh over a ton. The pressure a croc can bring down when biting can be over 5,000 pounds per square inch, this compares with 1,000 ppsi for a Hyena, or 335 ppsi for a rotweiler.
There have been stories of crocs attacking camping grounds, and when opened up everything from kangaroos to cows have been found inside.

Really good read Hyena, this kind of makes me wants to visit Australia even more. I used to live in Florida, and they're is a lot of poisonous snakes, alligators, and non-venomous scorpions. This doesn't even compare though haha.

Sharks
Just 'cause the crocs ate them up north does not mean we don't have any.
Head down to South Australia and the southern tip of Western Australia to meet the most famous shark the Great White. This shark has bitten a fully grown man in half.
Around the Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia you find the Tiger Shark, a ferocious carnivore that can grow to over a ton.
Sydney Harbour is a breeding ground for bronze whalers. I always thought it was interesting they had the triathlon swim leg in the harbor..... These are a vicious shark one of which took the hand and foot of a navy diver in Sydney Harbour only a few years ago.

Why is no one swimming???
Hyena has already covered crocs, sharks, sea snakes, rips if they don't stop people from swimming what does???
In tropical northern Queensland, from October to May (our summer) no one is swimming in the ocean and it's not because of any of the above... It's a jellyfish. The Box Jellyfish to be precise. A brush of it's tentacle will cause paralysis and heart failure within minutes. There have been 86 recorded fatalities to this silent killer.

I'll do the British version.
Why you dont want to go to Britan.
The moat feared animal in Britan. The bee! This animal makes delicious honey. But when threatened will sting you. This will do nothing. Trust me Britans quiet dangerous. -
Australia - even the birds can kill ya - although only one reported death and 150 reported attacks on humans the cassowary is a pretty fearsome bird and with a 5 inch claw on a pretty massive leg it ain't something you want to go near.
-
Box jellyfish, stonefish, crocs, and Bogans- I agree - don't come to Aus unless you have a sense of humor lol
-
And in spite of all of this ⬆⬆⬆⬆ Steve Irwin becomes one of the only people on the planet to be killed by a sting ray. RIP Croc Hunter.
-
No sense of humor but dam this sounds like my kind of place.
-
I want to go for the beach babes with blond hair and blue eyes😍!

I knew a lot of this. My wife talks about "oh I wanna go to Australia"
I told her "I'll never go to Australia ever. I'm terrified of that place. Everything can kill you."
It's like she doesn't believe me. The Funnel Webs? Jesus they live right in the city too. No thanks. Your country is beautiful. To look at from far away.
