Are there regions in Australia without any dangerous animals?
Tahini Raving Weirdo asked:
I would like to try living in Australia some time, but my wife is so worried about poisonous spiders and snakes all the time, and that one of them might get one of our cats.
But aren’t there areas where our kitties could go roaming and stay “unbitten”?
How’s Tasmania for that?
Or Adelaide?
Or… I haven’t a clue. Do you have any knowledge of a creepie-crawlie free region in Australia?

LOL, Australia is home to 14 of the world’s most deadly of their species. Happy hunting, LOL.
Nope, I don’t know of anywhere in Aus that doesn’t have it’s fair share of biteys. As far as your cats go, it’s not a good idea to leave them to roam anyways. But, I have cats and dogs etc…and live outside of Adelaide, and nothing has ever gotten them. I care enough about my cats and the local wildlife to not let my cats roam though.
I have lived in the rural areas of Western Australia all my life and have yet to see a snake. Cats are immune to funnel web spider venom and they are the main problem in the Sydney area, you would have more problem with those little monsters than your cats. Redback spiders pretty much stay away from sight so they are not a big issue with pets either, more with people. There are no funnel web spiders in WA thanks god, they are huge! We lived on a farm and our cats roamed around and never had any problems with snakes. Western Australia also dosen’t have those awlful paralizing ticks.
Basically wherever you go there is some chance you will at some time see a creepy crawlie but I wouldn’t let that worry you.
