Ahh, I just read in your intro post you are from the land down under! Yes, that is quite a journey. Amy and I spent some time in New Zealand last year... it was such a beautiful adventure! We roamed around like wild cats for several months.
I've never been to Australia, though, or knew of it as the land of nopes-- holy moly, there is some frightening stuff. That was one perk to being in New Zealand, the lack of large mammals or poisonous predators. We did see a feral goat once, though :P
