Not the spiders at all
Yea, there’s more snakes here than I would prefer but nothing like the amount, length of time or sheer nasty ness.
Actually, only see them here for about 10 weeks

Probably not!You might not be around long enough to see it rain then
At the moment I'd be happy with no rain for a month or two, but as we all know, it can soon turn around, there could be a drought by May.

If visiting the outback
take plenty of water 2 weeks supply more than the predicted time for the trip
descent mobile phone more than one
well serviced vehicle with good spare wheel
12 volt tyre inflated
if car gets bogged let the air down to 10 psi this does work well as I found out in southaustralia then reinflate once back on hard ground
also tell someone when you will be back and likely route keep them updated

IIRC Australia has 9 of the worlds 10 most deadly snakes.
Which reminds me, when talking snakes with a young Aussie many years back a mate of mine commented that we’d only got one poisonous snake here. Well said the Aussie, you’d betta find the cant and kill it.

I lasted 3 months. Trip to town once a week for supplies/food.
Working with cattle/driving tractors. I'm weird but i quite enjoyed the isolation.
Not too far from farmer roy, a place called walgett. Did look at going back, farmer agreed to sponsor me but never did.
Great people, great country. Back when they'd rain though 2001.
