The Outback
Is it safe to go for long drives in Australia? Apparently, not. Even if you could be harm’s away from wild critters and beasts or secure inside your car, there’s still one threat that’s going to test your survival skills -if you didn’t come prepared. We’re talking about Australia’s outback, a spread of hot and dry land which is remote and uninhabited. You’d have to pack the right amount of food, water, gas, and other essentials because once you run out of any of them, unlike usual roads with mini-marts or gas stops available, the Australian outback has nothing to help you with. Stressful enough? Just to add, you won’t even get to call for help as there won’t be any cellular signal there. Survival favors those who came prepared.

Irukandji Jellyfish
Small and terrible, the Irukandji jellyfish that’s almost as minuscule as the tip of a matchstick reminds us not to underestimate the link between size and danger. This type of jellyfish, usually living in the waters of North Australia can grow to about a cubic centimeter, and is capable of injecting venom with its stingers to humans who come close in contact with them. It could immediately send you to the hospital with symptoms such as muscle cramps and nausea. Stay away from this small creature if you don’t want big trouble.
