Man I live in Darwin, a kid I went to school with died from stepping on a stone fish, my cousin was taken by a crocodle. My brother was bit by a king brown and ended up in hospital for 2 weeks. My sister was bit by a redback spider.

My uncle caught Ross River virus and my other uncle died of meliodosis.

Your part of Australia in the blue mountain's might be good and safe, except for the incest mountain family.

My part of Australia is reasonably dangerous still

You live in one of the most remote, populated places. Like obviously things are different.

Also redbacks aren't generally lethal without an allergic reaction. Hurts like hell though!
