Ahh great teaching material, I hope finally my kids will learn the difference. Not that we encounter alligators in MA
Speaking of swooping birds that don't take a backward step, I had a Plover try to face down my car the other day when I drove past her nest on the side of the road (web pic).
This one’s not venomous.. https://www.smh.com.au/environment/...e-loose-in-sydney-suburb-20191014-p530hy.html
A dingo stole my phone! https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-10...-company-newcrest-after-dingo-attack/11629208
A Stick In the case of a mine it would be a broom stick cut in half as the above one wouldn’t pass the WHS ( work health safety ) test with all the roughness on said stick. Safety gloves would have to be issued with the above stick. One dingo no drama Two dingos getting scary Three dingos get the fuck out of wherever you are as there is several more surrounding you.
Okay then - I guess the answer was a little too obvious. I was thinking it was some sort of flare, or maybe a small firecracker that would scare them away...
Oddly there is not enough respect for the intelligence and danger of real Dingos in the places most mines are in Northern/Western Australia I see dingos quite often up my way.
With all the crazy animals what are firearms laws in the outback area. I’d be thinking it’s like Alaska where everyone needs one as death lurks around every corner. I mean animal wise, death is always around for any of us.
Glad I visited and made the climb ~ 20 years ago. Some running club had a handful of members sprinting up the side of the rock while my girlfriend and I had to hold on to the rope like a couple of wimps.
This is a former penal colony, allowing "convict spawn" wholesale acces to guns is a BAD idea... for starters this thread's title would need to be changed to " All things in Australia want to kill you"
