hey thanks guys!
we are finalising the things we are going to do when we are in australia.
all i can remember right now (im just waking up and cant pester my mrs-to-be yet for the latest details) is that our honeymoon starts in hongkong for couple nights then australia for just over two weeks then singapore couple nights on the way back (to see more stuff and break up flights)
we are starting in sydney then we are flying somewhere(?) , where amongst other things we can go on a cruise via some epic reefs and fishies (hopefully no sharks! Actually seeing a shark would be cool if it wasnt too hungry) and otherwise just generally relaxing and enjoying warm weather, great food and drink and hopefully not being poisoned, stabbed or otherwise killed by any one of the gazillion different lethal land and sea critters, plants, insects etc that are out there...

id also appreciate some help with this too as i would like to have a family one day and want to survive the honeymoon ;o)

just make sure that if you go camping/out in the bush, dont stand too close to a Coolabah Tree, they have drop bears in them, they can give a nasty bite.

Yeah, be really, really careful of the drop bears. Just ask a local about them and they'll be able to let you know where the drop bears tend to be in that area.

Otherwise, there's not too much that's dangerous here. Northern Territory there are saltwater crocs - they ARE dangerous. We have the sharks on most coasts, so be careful of them. On the north east coast, we have sea snakes, watch out for them. On land every where there are other snakes, but they tend to not be around cities. Spiders are generally not too bad, you're unlikely to encounter a redback or funnel web. It's really not as bad as people say!

wow ive never realised on top of all the other lethal stuff, you have lethal bears too?! Do they hide in your wardrobe and in the boot of your car and stuff? How can you spot one? How can you avoid it? I dont want to DIE!

Cairns isnt so great but the cruise will be as I'm dguessing you'll be doing the great barrier reef and some of the other places around there. Sydney has a few great beaches but your missing the best part of Australia by not going WA

it is as bad, we are just used to it!

Killed 3 redbacks and had to remove a bob-tail from my garden this weekend. I seriously don't think twice about it, but i can understand from an overseas perspective, it must be a bit weird.

Just if you do get bitten by anything, make sure you catch it, and take it to the hospital with you, so that they can identify what it was.

This really is very important (even if it's a snake, try to get a photo).
