      I can add two things to this list that greatly concern me, I've also camped across 3 Australian states and a Territory.
      They're bushfires and flooding rains. The latter is mainly an issue when in the outback or flat ground where flood water doesn't have a determined place of flow/drainage.

    The pine cone is that of the Bunya Bunya tree. Native to a small pocket of Sunshine Coast hinterland in Qld. The cones fall when "ripe" and can weigh up to 6 or 7 kg ! The nuts are tasty
    when roasted or made into flour.

    When the early Aussies encountered them, they weren't afraid, at least not for long.
    They worked out how to hunt them, prepare, cook, and eat them.
    There is a reason all the big animals are extinct in OZ, and it wasn't because of the Wolfe Creek Meteor.

      You would think everyone would get the message by now, especially with Australia having so few States and Territories, that Tasmania is very much part of this great continent and it is an insult to leave it off.💖

    The large pine cone that was as big as the guy's head was the "Bunya Nut" from the Bunya Pine. (you can google it to see) That thing will end your life if it falls on your head. The seeds are also edible and are as big as, say, a Walnut.

    we had a big monitor lizard wander thru the yard a few months ago. I imagine they could b very dangerous and it's good to keep out of the way. It would have been 5 foot long. A couple of weeks ago I watch our python leaving the geraniums where he likes to live to go to his winter home in the shed for winter! He was about 6 feet long and really beautiful.A couple of years ago we had a brown snake in the lounge room. Now they are scary because they will chase you. We got him outside with no harm done. All so beautiful.

      Always keep in mind that many of the larger lizards, goanna etc. tend to carry ticks. If you have pets, check them thoroughly. Yet, I suppose after all of your experiences, you most likely knew that. I don't trust pythons all that much either after one had a go at me when picking some wild tomatoes. I don't think it wanted me to have any and struck out. The tomatoes were left for the python! I do hope your home is at least kept free from the poisonous creatures. You should be able to enjoy some safe spaces in your own home.💖

    Thylacoleo was the true irl drop bear, I wonder if they screamed like koala's do? Koalas sound horrible enough as is!
    People always go on about our deadly animals, but I've lived in rural SA most of my life and honestly I've only ever seen a couple snakes, and none of them had any interest in me. I used to play in the scrub by the river with my friends all day every day of the summer holidays and we never saw one during that time, they hear kids coming and they steer clear lol!
    I also remember many years ago our ex stray dog caught and injured the monitor lizard who had been living near our yard for years. The goanna was reasonably big, he'd been eating the old eggs I chucked into the nearby scrub. The dog had punctured a lung on the poor guy, so mum (who was home alone) picked the goanna up, plugged the hole in his side with her hand and then drove to the vets with the thing in her lap! 😅
    Sadly they had to put him down, he had other injuries, but it's probably just as well otherwise mum would absolutely have been mauled. The bites are not only venomous but almost always get infected. Not her best idea, but hey, she tried!

    My parents were in Italy on holiday on the day we won . They made their weekly call home by chance just as we won. Later that day, they were at the Vatican. American bishops were there meeting with the Pope. As they walked in procession into St Peter's, dad greeted each pair with "Did you hear about the America's Cup? The Aussies beat you Yanks." Mum was afraid he was going to get them excommunicated. Dad told her not to worry because the Pope was not American. He was more likely to hand out sainthoods.

    It's generally accepted by the scientific community that the Aborigines have been in Australia for at least 45,000 years. There is good evidence to suggest 60,000 years and some evidence points to 100,000 years ago. The point is that the Aborigines co-existed with these animals. What happened to the animals is maybe that the Aborigines wiped them out.

    Also, in the outback area of Queensland at a place named Winton a large number of different kinds of dinosaurs have and are still being found. A dinosaur museum is there. Australia is an ancient land, many millions of years old, and the indigenous race of people are far older than is reckoned.

      Rubbish, all lands are ancient but not all had humans, only Africa, Asia and Europe supported human populations! Most continents were attached at some time, then separated by the changing climate! No, those small wandering tribes could not have survived these creatures, physically impossible!

      I remember visiting a waterhole North of Mount Isa in the mid 1970's to go fishing. We were using some bullock heart for bait and every goanna in the area descended on us. Some of the goannas were over 2 metres in length and very hungry.

      @@jenniferharrison8915 The ancient landmasses weren't separated by climate (although growing and shrinking ice sheets had an effect). Plate tectonics (a development of the earlier idea of continental drift) is the main cause of the break up and movement of the landmasses. Australia is still moving slowly North. The indigenous peoples may have been in Australia longer (or not) than we think, but they certainly came here via Asia.

      Citation needed. That isn't what the science that I have read says. The Megafauna were around until at least 11,700 years ago. And humans were certainly living in Australia before then. The suspicion is that humans hunted/pushed them to extinction, but that would be a difficult thing to prove.
