Let's just remember how enormous Australia is when we think about how many venomous snakes and spiders we have here. I mean, I've come across a snake about twice in my life, and (what I consider to be) poisonous spiders maybe 3 times. It's not like they are everywhere.
We do have a heck of a lot of non-deadly spiders around though!
Mind you, I do live in an urban area, so perhaps it's worse out in the outback land? Anyone?
