Queensland, and compared to the rest of the world these spiders are huge.

I live in the sunshine coast and I've seen and touched spiders bigger than my hand.


OP is stupid as butts.

also anyone live in Sydney? I'm down in NSW visiting my family.

Also the kangaroo jokes are hilarious and I commonly see kangaroos and have lived on a farm with them so you can't really say they're rare in Australia....

All Americans being morbidly obese is also a stereotype and it isn't true.

Lately I've been seeing an abundance of posts about Australia having "giant ass spiders". Not just on these forums, but elsewhere on the Internet. Allow me to clear things up, seeing as how I have lived in Australia all my life.

These "giant ass spiders" you all refer to:
The largest spider you find in Australia is about the length of an adult's thumb, and that is about a 1 in 100 chance of finding a spider that big in 5% of all rural areas. Rural, not urban or suburban. Most spiders are about the size of 3 thumbnails put together (lengthwise).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntsman_spider#Habitat_and_distribution

These are commonly known as existing in Australia. Apparently you don't even know the ecosystem of your own home country.

Kangaroos as a method of transport:
Kangaroos are mostly in uninhabited areas (uninhabited by humans that is). And about a 15% chance of finding one in rural areas. Sometimes if a town/suburb is close enough to a forest, there MIGHT be a kangaroo seen. Most kangaroos are found in bushland areas, and sometimes seen on long roads to rural towns.

Nobody thinks Kangaroos are a method of transport, but every other Australian I know hates kangaroos because they're loving richards and kick down fences and stuff. No stuff if you live in an urban area there aren't going to be kangaroos hopping into your favorite dinner restaurant, but they definitely exist and are common in Australia.
