More Animals to Kill You
If deadly snakes, venomous monotremes, and giant lizards weren’t enough, Australia is also home to several other dangerous creatures. The funnel-web spider and the blue-ringed octopus, to name a couple of examples, are both highly venomous and dangerous creatures.

You’ll notice Australians because they don’t appear overly concerned about all of the dangerous creatures they encounter. We would almost certainly never leave our house if we moved there. Just saying.
Shrimp On The Barbie
“Throw another shrimp on the barbie,” aside from “g’day mate,” is one of the most frequently quoted sayings in Australia. Barbeque is short for barbeque, but shrimp are referred to as prawns. The phrase was made popular in the 1980s by a series of tourism ads starring Paul Hogan, better known as Crocodile Dundee.

Numerous Australians cringe when they hear the saying because it is frequently misquoted (he said “slip,” not “throw”). Still, it has become part of the American lexicon of Australian cliches.
