As an Aussie - the level of danger is definitley hyped up. If you're in the cities, you're lucky to see a huntsman spider. Out in the regional areas, you just got to educate yourself on what to look out for, but it's nowhere near as dangerous as people make it out to be. Far safer here than most places in the world!

It truly is the best book. I think everyone needs to read it as the sole info for "how to: on life" I used to go every tuesday and thursday to meditate and see Mickey chat at temple of the universe. He's got the best energy in real life. But it always left me thinking, wow, everything "problem" or emotion makes sense now and you get that from the book too. Love this Australia content as well! I've been twice and the last time I traveled down the entire east coast. So gorgeous. Hope to go back and do the west coast one day.

As an Australian who has travelled this country extensively by 4WD, and spent a lot of it hiking, fishing and hunting, the dangers are overstated. You certainly need to be aware of your surrounds, and aware of the different dangers depending on what part of the country you're in, but it should not deter anyone from experiencing the beauty that this land has to offer. You're more at risk in the cities, and like most major cities around the world it's humans that are your biggest danger, not the animals out in the bush. Enjoy your lap and safe travels. Looking forward to seeing it all unfold

Alright, so I’m in Tasmania, We have the Tiger Snake here. There are a few things I do as I have a dog who comes with me everywhere. I don’t tend to hike in the bush come summer. We hike more from middle August to middle Spring. The snakes are more scared of you than you are of them. Making some noise as you walk helps to scare them off. There are simple things to remember - don’t poke a stick down a hole, it could have a snake or spider. Be careful lifting logs, snakes & spiders. Certain times of the year up north stay out of the sea, the further north in the tropics the water isn’t the safest - crocs. Southern Aus is croc free, but the bigger rivers could have Bull Sharks in them. It’s talking to locals with the bigger rivers near the coast to know where is safe. The further inland up rivers you find Bull Sharks. Rock pools with warmer weather watch for Blue Ringed Octopus, I’ve never seen one, but I do look carefully before entering. Spiders give me the heebee jeebies, safe or not. Huntsmans have me running from the room 😝. Generally it’s common sense applied to our native fauna. The fauna here are on the whole not aggressive, unlike places like the USA, with bears, cougars, coyotes, wolves, or in EU where some places have bears & wolves. Most people bitten is due to stupidity or not paying attention to where you’re walking. My dog and I tend to swim more in the warmer weather. Where I am in Tassie we rarely come across sharks, water is too cool for them.

Hi again Sorelle and NEILA - during my cycling treks I created some easy dishes suitable for a solo traveller with limited storage - I like to eat healthily but enjoy it as well so here’s one very easy but tasty rice dish - garlic, green capsicum, tinned tuna already with a curry flavour (laksa, Mexican etc) one cup of basmati rice (low GI and already in one serve tubs) and cook in olive oil in that order - very simple, healthy and filling - bon appetite - my mother who recently passed and not afraid of life once said to me “young one you can’t go around life - you must pass through it” - I’ve learnt that many people look in the wrong places for happiness and are never satisfied - happiness is an outcome of our journeys not a goal.

Girl i resonate so much with everything you just said hahaha I´ve been living in Byron Bay for the past 2 years and living with mice in the closet, hearing snakes moving on the roof of the house, checking inside your shoes for spiders, hearing cockroaches in the house at night even if you keep it clean... it becomes a part of your normal day, with time and acceptance of the land you are in. At the end of the day, i am grateful to be able to experience a place on earth that hasn´t been as touched by humans as many others and still lets nature take up as much space as she desires. Im not sure for how much longer the Australian Government will be so friendly with the animals and wild nature here. So im gonna enjoy being one of the few who has gotten the opportunity to experience a more raw unfiltered wild Earth - Australia.

Worked around Oz as an archaeologist surveying for sites and digging holes. Walking around Pt Headland (NW coast of WA on a map) on a sandy coastal flood plain covered in large spinifex grass clumps, and EVERYWHERE between the spinifex were Brown Snake tracks. Yet I never saw a snake. Excavating on the NSW south coast for a highway expansion you'd dig up Sydney Funnel Web spiders, but you don't touch them, just scoop them up in a shovel and move them away. :)

Love your basic setup and the minimalistic approach. In a world of bolt-on accessories, gvm upgrades, and 'take the f'ing kitchen sink with you' vehicle-build, content creators, keeping it simple always is best. It harks back to the glory days of vehicle exploration without all the mod cons that clutter the experience. The biggest thing I will say you are missing, that will transform your travels is a chainsaw (Sthil domestic, cheap, light). Light, warmth, and hot water! And who doesn't like sitting next to a fire at night? A visceral woman's place is barefoot around the campfire at night. Fire also keeps those vicious Australian drop bears away! 😉

As a troopy owner I'll offer a bit of advice....cover the grille with some stainless steel flyscreen, it will stop bugs and seeds etc getting into your radiator and depending on if you have a deep cycle battery fitted, put a winch on the bull bar. It will come in very handy if you intend going on soft sanded beaches, plus the usual snatch straps and recovery gear.

I think Australian locals are good at being prepared. As you mention you adapt if you've been here a while. The biggest oversight many travelers commit in Australia is lack of preparation. I've witnesses individuals arriving wanting to do the Overland Track in Cradle Mountain with nothing but plastic shopping bags for a 2 day walk, only to be refused entry. I've also done tails in summer when there's snakes (I ran some of the overland track listening to Beyoncé so fun! I felt like I was making enough noise to deter snakes but we saw some. Possibly don't run the trails in summer? Snakes like to hide behind logs. Please do a video of Tasmania it's always left out - it's soooo special and my home state. I can give you some pointers. :)

Your comments that you always have your guard up and live in a state of borderline anxiety really summed up living anywhere in Australia outside of the cities and towns. In other countries people look out for large predatory animals. The difference here is that our dangerous creatures like to surprise you by turning up in unexpected places, often in your house. Here, the smaller the creature the bigger the danger. Even some of our birds are raucous and aggressive. I've had to fight a Currawong for the pegs on the clothesline because he took a fancy to them. I walk out the front door and get threatened by Curlews. I've been chased in my loungeroom by a Huntsman as big as a dinner plate and woken in the night by thousands of baby Huntsman spiders that had hatched. I've been attacked by a Coastal Taipan ( lucky it missed), uncovered Red Bellies in the wood heap, opened the grill on the stove one morning to find a large Carpet Python curled up in it, and twice had snakes slide across my foot while I stood admiring the scenery or sat on the front step. Australia is challenging to live in. The funniest encounter I've ever had in the bush was at night, while we were hunting. Our mate was in front of me and he suddenly stopped and fell backwards. It was like he'd hit an invisible barrier. It was actually a massive spider web and the spider was HUGE! But is Australia a stunningly beautiful, diverse land? Absolutely!

I love keeping some places secret! It encourages people to get out and explore for themselves. Also pleeease use as much natural based soaps and products when you’re bathing in nature. To avoid toxins getting in streams and all the lives who depend on them 🙏🏽🌿❤️

As an Aussie who's lived overseas for many years, I've come to realise that you learn from a young age which are just annoying and which will put you in hospital. Avoid the hospital ones, take salt to rainforests (for leaches), take vinegar to the northern beaches (jellyfish), don't swim in some places, and take bottles of water everywhere there's no tap. A first aid kit and knowledge goes a long way too.

Those things wouldn't scare me to come to Australia;) ❤ actually all that sounds like the nature there is healthy and there's prosperity and it's protected so it means the country has things in place and good vibes

Thank you Sorelle. The Untethered Soul changed my life years ago. Somewhere between Canada and Mexico I gave it away. It´s time to buy another copy. We have spiders and scorpions here. I was bitten by a half dead black widow who had crawled into my folded up jeans. Lesson learned. Always shake and inspect before you put anything on. Thankfully I am fine. It hurt for a bit. I got some antivenom and now the scar is almost gone. I love all creatures and respect them. Question: I love your bathing suit. Would you share where you got it? I need a new one for our adventures all over this magnificent country which, according to most people, is also dangerous. It is positively and magnificently fascinating and glorious! Here´s to exploring...living in the moment. Much love to you!

I live in a tiny country town in Australia and the amount of snakes I have seen is terrifying. I lost a cat from a bite, saved a second cat.

Come on.. if we go to these wild territory, we gotta adapt and respect. It will take a lot of time to really learn to live in these kind of places but if you did it, you can do anything 😁. Sadly many of us who mostly lived in city can't seem to adjust very well in wild.. takes a lot of time to adjust and learn. Hope you safe journey 😅

maybe i'm wrong but i dont feel like australian wildlife is as scary as north america's? definitely not as dangerous as south america's or africa

Lived in and travelled this country for 30 years, it’s worth every bug and spider 10 fold. Golden rule is just check your boots in the morning and kick the log before you sit down.

@@SorelleAmoreIronically, only this year I neglected to check my boots one morning while camping at Lake Eyre, after an hour of usual camping activities, I kicked a log and disturbed a huge centipede that was in my boot. It gave me an almighty sting. “Do as I say, not as I do!!”

I spent one year in Australia and I got stung by a bluebottle jellyfish (that was scary, but obviously not deadly. Didnt call an ambo because didnt have a travel insurande, lol... But I survived so All good...) Then I almost stumbled over a brown snake once, but I didnt, so that was fine too. I remember someone getting severely bitten by some spider at a bush party though... And I saw a taipan snake once and a redback spider once (but nothing happened) So yeah of course it has dangers (but many tropical places are like that, not just Australia! People seem to forget that...) And... It depends, danger.... people have a bit skewed sense of what danger really means, in my opinion. The most dangerous thing on earth are ticks, I got ill with Lyme disease from a tickbite in Sweden (which is otherwise deemed as a "safe" country regaring wildlife) 18 years ago. Still super sick. So, most of the world is dangerous in that sense. I freak out more by ticks than I would do by spiders and snakes I think. Hope to become a resident and land owner in Australia one day. Down Under caught my heart. Its been 15 years now, it's about time to go back soon. 💖
