30 Reasons To Never Visit Australia

Have you considered all these 30 reasons to never visit Australia?

We spent two years exploring the land down under, but no one ever told us how it’s going to be before the big move.

We had to learn everything the tough way and therefore decided to warn you before you make the same mistake as us.

When thinking of Australia all you can see is beautiful sandy beaches, tanned people and relaxed outdoor life, right?

You can’t be more wrong!

Australia is home to some of the most dangerous animals and poisonous insects on the planet.

While it may not be enough to discourage you from visiting or living there, you definitely should be aware of what you’re up against and prepare for the worst.

Here are our 30 reasons to never visit Australia:

1. Australia has the highest number of animals that can kill you.

I'm not trying to be rude maybe you just saw some Australian memes and took it seriously but it's not STANDARD to have massive snakes eating lizards or whatever, it's like me saying it's standard for an American to have shot 20 people in their lifetime. Ik the weather is extreme here but I don't look outside every second day and see a fire tornado, that's a freak thing that doesn't happen every day. Australia is a rough place and I do advise not punching kangaroos and patting red back spiders or playing tips with brown snakes but I also wouldn't advise hugging a brown bear or trying to ride a tiger, its just common sense people. There are lots of things that are dangerous in Australia and not super great but we are a free country and if you know to put on sunscreen, not go to Bondi Beach on packed days, not be dumb and play with dangerous animals and know that drop bears are not real than Australia is a great place to live. I don't want the person who made this article to feel bad but maybe if you give us down under a chance to show you around you might actually like it here! Have a nice day.
