denNews services are full of stories about the latest shark attack, where the bloke drove to the surf lifesaving club with the wobbegong shark attached to his leg
Wobbegongs are not known for their attacks. They're better known as "hake" when they're encased in batter and deep fried. You really have to work at getting attacked by a wobbegong, almost to the point where you have to kick one in the face to make it bite you. People generally don't report wobbegong attacks. It's almost as embarrassing as being trapped in a wombat hole when the wombat presses its bum up against the roof and crushes you.
Australia is that kind of place.

Australia is that kind of place. And other kinds as well.
Why is it that my friends seem less likely to visit when I tell them about the poisonous spiders and snakes? It's not as if most places people reside and work are crawling with them...okay, there are redbacks here and there under toilet seats, but still...
