This not an indictment against the country of Australia.  I'm sure it's a lovely place populated by lovely people.  That being said, there is not amount of money in the world that would get me there.  Some of God's deadliest creatures roam that land and swim in there waters, so no thank you.  ESPECIALLY after this!  A Diamond Python was recently spotted at a Woolworths store in Sydney. Woolworths is apparently a grocery chain.  Oh, and when I say, "spotted," I mean a MONSTER PYTHON WAS JUST HANGING OUT OF THE SPICE SHELVES INTO THE AISLE!!!

Now, we're not immune to this sort of thing in America, last August in Texas, there was a tiny black snake that was found in the canned beans in a Wal Mart.  And, to be fair, I'm not planning on grocery shopping in Odessa anymore either. <g>
