No thanks... would rather deal with hungry bears and rabid moose than those critters!

I would agree but after experiencing a hungry bear, aren't they always, destroying your campsite while you are in your tent I'm inclined to put up with those pesky mice. Lesson learned these days I never camp, hike, picnic in bear country without a gun it's a matter of survival, not sport.
 
I say the Canadian Beaver is the most dangerous animal - Can bite the leg off your dog or through into your tremor and sever arteries in a flash.
 
I have lived around Sydney my whole life, mainly the apparent Funnel Web capital, the Lower North Shore for the last 40 years. Spent my whole working life on Building Sites and have NEVER seen a Funnel Web Spider. And I am happy about that.
 
I'm sure plenty have seen you Vince. I had quite a few living in my garden when I was in Nth Narrabeen. I use the leave my boots by the door and one morning when leaning over to put my boots on there was one right next to it in a pose that resembled the photo above. Never left my boots outside again after that.
 
Was that North Narra or Curl Curl, I had a mate who lived down the road form you at Curly, renoed his house and even then never saw one. They are an Impressive critter appenely, very aggressive.

Bloody big spiders that you can keep out just by shutting the door on them.
 
In Avalon we had an avery and one of the budgies died, dug a hole with a mattock to bury it as I bent down to clear the dirt away with my hand, I was greeted but a funnel web in that exact pose. Didn't ask if it was male or female, it got mattocked.
 
Nth Narrabeen Vince. Never saw any in Curl Curl. There was a garden next to my front door that I would often see them once I'd seen that agressive fucker. Once you've seen one you see many more as I started looking for them. I never killed them, but then again I don't kill anything on purpose.
Same as the tiger snakes I get at home, we all live together in harmony:) Having said that I lost a good mate/up the road neighbor last year from a tiger snake bite.
 
26c and 70% humidity on Easter Friday. Bought some Gara Masala spices from an Injun shop during the week, blended them today and making Beef Gara Tikka and Nann bread for tonight’s dinner.

Okay, I know Injuns don’t eat beef, but it’s my creative license I’m running with. Hang on, beef vindaloo ....... maybe they do eat beef.
 
Beautiful day in the Adelaide Hills, 30 degrees and not a cloud in the sky, hasn't been any for weeks now and none in the weekly forecast. Could do with some, the water tanks are starting to get low.
 
over cast and fine rain here in the S/W of Oz. Not enough to add to the tank though. My tanks are also low and the dam is at it's minimum level this time of year. Roll on winter and the warmth of a fire
