  1. The Red Back is in most ways the local version of Black Widow. The red stripe on the back is different, but both have a almost diamond red patch on the underside. The red colour in fact varies for bright orange to darker brown, almost invisible brown/black. There are very few deaths as antivenom is readily available, Main bites seem to be accidental, in shoes, gloves, moving stuff on the garden or yard, even sitting on the toilet seat, especially outdoor/public facilities. Greater danger are the Sydney Funnel Web, that are actually attack inclined. Really a Sydney issue, related spiders elsewhere are less venomous. I got bitten by a large female Red Back while gardening did no more than wash and bleed the wound, had sore swollen hand, elbow and shoulder for about a day. Note both Red Back and Funnel Web, the males are largely harmless, the females are the danger.

  2. Prisoners began being sent to New South Wales, as a result of US indepedance, so US is somewhat responsible for settlement of this fine place, by excess criminals, such as stealing food like apples, carrots and bread, to quench extreme hunger.
