      Komodos and goanna are both water monitors. Goanna do get pretty fucking big tho but they are pretty much harmless unless you try to grab it which would be stupid considering they get about 1.4m long and just look like smaller Komodo. Lmao best thing about goanna is they love to climb trees for various reasons, they lay eggs in termite nests atop trees. They hunt bird nests ect. They do this all while wieghing up to 30+kg, they also are not great at climbing the only reason they can is because of their 2inch claws. All these things come together and idk why it's not a more cliche Australia thing like the mystical drop bear. These massive lizard do literaly fall out of trees all the time. I've seen atleast 3. I could only imagine the damage it would do if it landed on you.

      @Harley Wild whoaa watch out they are monitors but not water monitors 🤣 "oh I breed goanna so I know everything and must correct any wording that doesn't need correcting". all goanna are monitors the names "lace" "water" "ridgetail" ect Are given due to the different characteristics. To say lace monitors and water monitors are vastly differant due to one spending more time in water when both spend large amounts of time in and around water depending on the area they are found. Just like Jackie dragons, bearded dragons, water dragons. They are all "dragons". Your just being a mong because you wanna tell everyone that you own a pet goanna like that's something to be proud of. People like you who choose to own native animals rather than leaving them in their natural habitat are the opposite of what real Australians do mate. Goanna aren't meant to be captive considering they tend to have a wide range they traverse as a solitary creature.

I did see a cute harmless blue tongue lizard .the beaches are to crowded to go.spiders nothing a jandal wont fix or flip flops for you Americans. More afraid of flying cock roaches. Crocs only in the hot northern tropics again if you like salt rivers to swim in go there the crocs will love and thats if the bull sharks don't. But personally haven't seen any except in reptile parks and zoos and i keep my black Maori ass away from the rivers in Australia. The New Zealand sun will make you toasted and burnt before the Australian sun its a instant burn in New Zealand without the sticky muggy shit mixed in. Ants got bitten by bull ants in a park a couple of times just a real bad stinging sensation like a bee sting just worse so don't take anything sweet and leave it to attract ants or wasps. To many things in any ocean around the world that can kill you and thats why i keep my ass in my own house and don't invade the homes of deadly sea animals.sorry forgot my next door neighbour had 2 pet carpet pythons when I first moved to Australia i said hay cuzzie can you put that snake on me my bros back home wont believe it so he did.

    Considering how many places here are in flood zones, you'd be hard pressed to find a house with a basement. About half the houses you'll find here are up on stilts, some of which have had walls added so they can use the ground floor under the house.
    As for Fire Ants... they're not even native, they're an introduced pest that we're still trying to get rid of. We have signs along some highways and other roads instructing us to help stop their spread. (fun story, I'm an assistant surveyor, and on one job I was asked to go uncover a survey mark, in this case an iron pin 200mm under the ground between 2 wooden stakes; when I got there there was a mound of dirt between the stakes over the mark so I started digging with a shovel... turns out it was a Fire Ant nest... we called it in for the experts to deal with and they found at least 5 other mounds linked to it within a 500m radius of it. Fair to say we weren't able to use that mark for our survey station).
    Stinging Brush... Ok, I think he's talking about the Gympie Gympie plant, related to the stinging nettle and holds the world record for the most painful plant. Every part of the plant has thousands of tiny hypodermic needles that can break off and keep stinging you. There's a couple of varieties and the "nicer" ones only keep stinging for an hour or so, while the worse ones can cause reoccurring pain years later... If you're lucky there'll be some parts still above your skin so some strong sticky tape or similar tape, or even waxing strips, could pull them out.
    2 main crocs here. Freshwater crocs, which live in freshwater and are the nicer ones.. and the salties.... who live in both salt and fresh water and are the more territorial ones..
    And you've probably already learnt this, but what we call thongs, I think you call "flip-flops".

The Daintree Rainforest (and Far North QLD in general) is amazing and well worth the visit (you should check it out if you haven't already) but yeah, it's also filled with crocs and cassowaries
    Also, to be fair to the list video, that "stinging bush" mentioned in there is also found in Far Nth Qld, it's called the Gympie Gympie. Another thing you should check out if you haven't already. It's probably worse than the spiders and snakes. It causes unbearable pain, apparently like being stabbed by red hot needles which can last a lifetime.
