Well actually that wasnt my list...It was from the Australian reptile and amphibian department

Care to take back that remark?

There's a reason why we export fosters

Trust me, we Aussies dont drink it

Its a myth. My fiancess dad got bitten by a bat.....appropriately last halloween lmfao. He had to have rabies shots for the next 6 weeks

Nope its brewed at he Carlton and United breweries in Melbourne. However, I wouldnt be surprised if he same recipe was brewed overseas....and past off as exported beer. Either way Australians dont drink Fosters

Hmmm well okay..if you says so... but Molson does own 50% of Fosters

Fosters isnt actually a company. Its just a type of beer owned...or partially owned now by CUB. Do you think Molson would buy its all? We hate the stuff....yuk

There are pobably many species we havent found out here. More than 80% of Australia is not habitable due to the harshness of the environemnt. It would be cool to find some new species out there

Well that was the point... these species apparently just appeared almost like the escaped from a specimen collecting vessel

It really sucks when you file something to look at later and then can't find it

You guys have camels down there... how about the Camel Spiders?

Hi all, great thread.

Gosh.. other than a few fearful snakes, all we have here in Canada is the Recluse and Black Widow.. you know?, the spiders that are quiet and shy and live in the dark -- until your bitten..

true... but i did find it on tap at central station in sydney... in line with the toxicity theme, It probably isnt poisonous enough for us of the southern land to drink it... we like our spiders deadly and our beers vomitous!

PS and thanks for the pointers on the antivenom guys. I had no idea there were so many aussies in here

this thread is a hilerious read! i actually think you have to watch out for the men here rather than the creatures

one great thing about this thread (apart from steve erwin r.i.p) is that it will keep the ignorant from comming here

I have woken up with a 5ft rattlesnake in my sleeping bag, while working a flood on the colorado river.
Another time sleeping several years later i had one slither across my chest while in my sleepping bag.
I got struck by one while on a mtb ride, luckily it got my super high end italian mtb shoes, made from kangaroo leather, and it didnt penetrate.
If it had I likely would have died as i was 4 hr riding time from my car and it was 2-1/2 to three hrs from the nearest hospital.

And this morning, when I left for work, before the sun came up, i was putting on my boots when i felt something wierd in one, like a little lump of something.
When i took my boot off I found a huge black widow crushed under my big toe.
Good thing I had put on good thick socks.

I dont see how you aussies live in that veritable biologic mine field.

I belive fosters sold here in the states is brewed by molson in canada.
I used to be a big fan of guiness, until one day I noticed it was different somehow.
Then i noticed that it is now brewed in canada as well.

I used to get a bomb ass aussie beer sheaf's oatmeal stout, cant find it anymore, is it a beer you'all drink down under or was an export only beer.

Can someone post on Cane toads, I cant even look at them yuk.
