This isn’t some remote place either, it is less than an hours drive from the CBD of Melbourne, Australia

I mean, you realise bugs exist everywhere though right? If you just don't like the big ones then stay out of the top end of the country and you'll be fine. You're more likely to have a bird try to steal your lunch than encounter something scary.

I think a lot of Australians are just unbothered about it as well, we kinda just exist together. When I was a kid my dad would often play with huntsmans, let them crawl over his face. They're pretty chill.

I really really hope your occupation isn't a therapist.

Good old live oaks, sprawling wonders of nature, though there are a few on the canopy roads that give me pause on windy days 🤣

Huntsman's are fairly territorial, you won't get more than one inside at once. They also keep down the other bugs.

If you take the road anticlockwise it's not a problem, the bit south of Hana is way better

Ar man, that's what roads are made of, remote breathtaking scenery, loads of sharp turns hugging the coastline 👌 perfect till you get stuck behind someone

NZ has tree ferns. The silver fern is one of the symbols of the country.

Truly an honest question here: there aren't bugs in the cities right? I've always wanted to visit Australia but I'm letting my irrational fears force my hand. Reddit has totally warped my brain to believe there's gonna be a huntsman under every roll of toilet paper.
