14 Scary Things In Australia That Will Have You Packing Your Bags In A Hurry

It might seem like it’s pretty chilled down under, with all the surfing, barbecues and lounging on the beach, but secretly Australia has a whole other agenda. Underneath its relaxed exterior, Australia is actually trying to kill you. They have extreme weather, spiders as big as your head and other assorted dangers, this clearly wasn’t a country that was meant to be inhabited by humans.
