Rich and All,

Hmmm, the top three dangers?  In Northern Australia, definitely saltwater
crocodiles, but also perhaps death adders (which lie motionless part-hidden
in leaf litter), and King Brown snakes (very aggressive).  Maybe also
dehydration.

But we have no lions, tigers, elephants, or bears, so I guess our landscape
is comparatively tame alongside other of the world's wild places.  At least
you can go walkabout so long as you mind where you put your feet.
