After moving to the great dusty continent of Australia when I was a teenager, I vividly remember being both terrified and excited by the prospect of sharing a country with so many animals that could kill you. It took a couple years to figure out that to find these deadly animals, you actually had to put a bit of work in. They weren't lurking behind every corner waiting to eat you and in fact many of them were highly endangered and bloody hard to find. 

 

I have been incredibly privileged over the past half decade to work all over this ancient continent as a wildlife tour guide and during that time have fallen deeply in love with the critters that call this country home.
