Ive had a few pals move down under and never return. The goon sacks were all the convincing they needed after grad.. some came home some i still havnt heard from almost over 15 years later. The thoght of all the small things that want to kill you in the outback freaks me out the most.. then the big predators come to mind. Im pretty content in my pnw forrests and deserts lol. We have lots of cougars and bears in the mountain ..and rattlesnakes and spiders in the desert (wich i rarely go) and thats IT lol. I much prefer the big animals i can see and hear haha
