@SeanCleverly When I lived in Perth as a kid, my mate and I knew of a Bull Ant nest in the bush across the road. We'd harass them after school and watch them jump at us. Oh, and yeah, a bite hurts. Like. Really. HURTS!

Back in the 70s, on the Sunshine coast in Queensland, there was 'The House of Bottles. An entire house constructed using old beer bottles, with a 'tower' shaped like a stubbie bottle. Down the road was an entire castle, but not built from bottles. Pretty sure both attractions are long-gone..

@littlecatfeet9064 Yeah, it was weird but cool in its day.

6:25 I go outside at night to kill cane toads. However, this monster? Yeah, I'd call the museum and give it to them alive. The average size toad I kill is about 300gms and 10 to 15cm long. This thing is/was a dinosaur of crocodile proportions.

4:50 Ian, search for 'Cooktown Underwater videos' to see what lives under the Cooktown wharf, my old stomping ground. You'll be spun out.

4:15, yeah, he was an obese Kangaroo. But even obese Kangaroos look buff. It's that chest, those shoulders, and popeye forearms that do it. I remember the first time I saw a rock wallaby, way out West of Longreach. Little buggers are only a metre tall but are built like that Internet muscle kid. Zero fat. All muscle. And when they are are alerted their mates, they grunt malevolently. Almost like male Koalas in mating season but shorter grunts. Oh, Ian, search male Koala mating calls. You'll know where the Drop Bear legend came from.

11:30 When I get back up to Green Tree Ant territory up North, I'll make a video where I walk into a shrub with a Green tree Ant nest in it. Those buggers are nutters, and they can squirt formic(?) acid from their butts onto the spots where they bite you. They will jump on you en masse and just attack. I might also show how to make a 'lemon/citrus tea' from the ants and nests. Yeah, the bonus is you can eat green Tree Ants and get revenge for all the bites.

5:10 I have a 100cm screen to watch YouTube on. Yes, they are some BIG lips! We caught one at a river mouth about ten years ago up north. But it was a baby, only about a metre and a bit long, and with a mouth about 12 inches/30cm wide. I've got a crappy old night shot photo somewhere on my storage of it with someone's foot beside its mouth.

10:30 Isn't that the nugget named. 'Welcome Stranger'?

1:55 I am very wary of the little Blue-rings when I'm on a beach or rocky area on the coast. I've seen them in tiny rock pools at low tide. When they're agitated, the bright blue would be very attractive to an unsuspecting tourist or child. Funny thing about their venom is, potentially, if proper CPR could be provided to the envenomation victim for about 90 minutes, they might survive. The venom paralyses the victim, so breathing and heart-beat must be assisted while the venom is active. Having written that, I should say that very few people have died as a result of Blue-ringed Octopus bites/stings. Problem is, the bites can be painless and the first thing you know is that you are having trouble breathing. First aid is immobilisation of the limb and person, with a double compression bandage if possible. In summary, if you intend going outdoors in Australia, always carry a comprehensive creature-bite-related first Aid kit.
