On a recent trip overseas, I was amazed how many people seriously consider not coming here because of the hazards, Jill! I just tell them that millions of us survive them every year 😀

yep, there is a LOT to be careful of, and a LOT to LIKE about Aussie travel. I saw a TV program some years ago, called “Australia – don’t go there” – all about the hazzards ie crocs, mosquitoes, snakes etc etc. Yes, but as I said there is a LOT to LIKE. I love travelling around our country. Great post Red.

Thank you Kathy! I’m actually about to upgrade the list to 10 Travel Hazards – and will def include vast distances in the upgrade!! As for the snakes, I don’t think I’ll ever love them – but I accept they are part of the OZ landscape 😀

I love this list Marion, particularly the Aussie bogan hazard! I would add lots of long distance and tremendously boring drives in some of the outback regions of Australia. There is a limit to how much road kill and endless treeless plains that one can take! Otherwise I love everything about travelling in Australia – even the snakes!

Ditto Gemma! I’ve been having a blog break for a few weeks while I get my FB pages up & running but I’m nearly ready to get back to posting so watch this space! And hazards can be some of the most memorable travel moments – especially the snakes!!

I think I agree with every hazard you have mentioned – including the heights and the snakes. So love following your travels. I have been a little distant for awhile – caught up with the pressures of teaching demands… but i hope to follow you more closely again in 2016.

Entertaining post! I like the view from high places but they make my knees shake! I am unable to climb off a ladder onto a roof because my legs won’t cooperate!

Your fears all seem reasonable to me! I share your fears. But you haven’t scared me off from wanting to visit Australia someday. 😉

Yep me too. heights make me dizzy. Snakes give e heart palpitations, corrugated roads shakes your brain, noisy bogans in the next cabin or motel room makes me see red, (not you) but the worst is to be on a bus tour with the person behind you coughing over you for 20 days and giving you bronchitis on the other side of the world then having to visit a foreign doctor who doesn’t speak English. Then take medication you have never heard of before and doesn’t work anyway. Then been scared that Qantas will offload you because you are sick.
Going whale watching and not seeing any.
