But in all seriousness, if you look up eshay bah that stuff is real... its an unusual day if you dont come across at least one eshay out on the main

Dunno....the frozen iguana thing is actually real....when the temp drops low enough they go into a sort of shock....and fall out of the trees....given that they can weigh ten pounds or so, its an issue...
Sounds like your drop bear's early ancestor was a Camel spider.

I agree, it has a scary image
Not all eshays are on ice some are clean but the real gronks have had a couple hits. Ive had many great conversations with the local eshays, they often are really nice people especially if youve got a lighter on you or a ciggy

all it is is image
You forgot about poisonous plants.... ALOT of tourists come here and no one warns them about the sheer amount of deadly plants here.... There's the gympie-gympie which has a sting so bad it will send you insane, people who get stung by it have to be sedated because they actually kill themselves to escape the pain and the sting lasts for up to a year

Yea apparently the government has given up on trying to wipe em out... The fuckers just don't die
Why is it that those fuckers stick around yet the panthers in the blue mountains disappear after a couple bad fires!?
It takes all the fun out of bush walking if you arent on the constant lookout for a yowling cat
Someone was telling me the Panthers aren't actually Panthers, when feral cats breed in the wild they apparently get bigger until they're the size of a small panther... I think that's bullshit, there's no way 4 generations of being feral will increase your offsprings size by tenfold but how the fuck else would you explain it??Why is it that those fuckers stick around yet the panthers in the blue mountains disappear after a couple bad fires!?

There used to be a number of private zoos around sydney. There was a fairly large one who had been known for having melanistic (black) leopards amoungst standard coloured leopards.
I cant recall whether he was forced fo shut down because of a changd in regulations or if he was going broke. However, rather then rehoming them he decided to set the animals free.
They thrived in the Blue Mountains and their population grew with numberous sitings of mothers & cubs and sightings out as far as Mudgee.
Thats the story ive been told as to how they got into the blue mountains. I cant recall the mans name who they suspected released them.
Well shit.... How do you explain the ones in VIC and WA though??
Id heard of the Vic ones and maybe a similar thing occured or the bushfires pushed them further south.
WA id never heard off.
I recall the haunting screaming calls of the animals warning others that the panther was in the area growing up. It was so quiet & blissful whenever it was elsewhere.
The WA sighting was awhile ago... Early 2000s
Our cities suck but our nature is awesome... If you see a layerbird you should try to repeat a blizzard phrase repeatedly or make sex noises, they mimic things so if you're lucky people will start hearing gibberish and sex noises coming from the bush or the trees

This ones better.... I just love the way it goes "superb... Superb.... Awesome"... The best part is you can tell it's not a human voice and it freaks you the fuck out when you're just walking through the bush! I remember walking around and hearing a woman going "what's that?? OMG LOOK AT THAT!" over and over and it freaked us the fuck out until a lurebird walked out of the bushes and walked up to us going "OMG! LOOK AT THAT!"... I didn't know they could mimic humans before that day and it's honestly a little creepy..
