Australia is a wonderful country. It has the second tallest tree species on earth and the oldest, the second largest but fiercest reptile predator, the most venomous and aggressive snake in the world, a full quota of dangerous spiders, the longest man-made structure ever built, fantastic

beaches, magnificent countryside, and our coastal waters are regularly visited by the largest animal ever to have inhabited the earth.
