Our guests from the USA were a bit shocked recently after discovering this map of Australia’s most venomous creatures during a visit to the Australian Reptile Park on their second day in Sydney!
While we’re famous for our stunning beaches, spectacular landscapes and unique wildlife… a few little critters can really pack a punch!
From the infamous Sydney Funnel-web Spider to the deadly Box Jellyfish, Australia is home to some of the world's most venomous creatures.
But don’t worry... Despite our fearsome reputation, encounters with these critters are rare, and Australia remains one of the safest and most spectacular places to explore.
Oh, but that’s before we mention the great white sharks, saltwater crocs and mysterious cassowaries…
At Harbour City Tours, we love introducing our international guests to the wonders of Australian wildlife - preferably the cute, cuddly and less bitey varieties!
