We don;t have many thing that eat you, (crocodile and great white shark) but as for poinonous, we have a couple more.
Jelly fish, (several) Snakes, (lots) Spiders, (more)
But the most dangerous of all of them is the StingRay...
...too soon still?

The way I see it, if it was unusual, people wouldn't photograph it. So either those photos are of unusual things, or they were taken by tourists who were freaking out about THE SNAKES AND CROCS AND BATS WTF AM I DOING HERE
I mean, for example, if you took a sampling of American news stories, you would think that everyone in the US carries three guns and a rifle. I know for a fact that most people only carry one pistol, tops, and you rarely see people carrying a rifle around.

Similar situation to you, Aussie. Met a lovely lady in Ontario, Canada, and I'm here for a while longer it seems. It's strange that non-Australians have the perception that Australia is full of dangerous creatures, it's often the first thing people mention to me. Admittedly, I get slightly concerned about the thought of running into bears and wolves in the Canadian wilderness, but the locals are never perturbed.
The most dangerous creature that is not widely publicised is the drop bear. See the following link from the Australian National Museum.
It's related to the Koala, but I believe it's a genetic mutation that occurred due to mercury exposure as a result of early gold mining methods (gold amalgum) near Ballarat in the state of Victoria. But again, we locals never really worry about these either.
You sir, are so correct, how could I forget that one
