Don't you guys have that plant that, if you touch, is so painful it makes you want to commit suicide?

read that page. You're unlikely to come across it without trying. No confirmed deaths in Australia. You can find videos of people stinging themselves, it looks unpleasant but not that bad. Not even exclusive to Australia.

"Bad things can happen to you if you deep into the forest/jungle and don't know what you're doing" is hardly uniquely Australian.

Well yes, but apart from the plants and animals and terrain there is nothing deadly about Australia.
