Notes for Australia: 1) Don't go swimming - tiny invisible deadly stinging jellyfish, venomous sea snakes, sharks, rip currents, crocodiles (only sometimes), blue-bottle venomous jellyfish and Portuguese Man of War. 2) Don't walk on the beach, any of the above (except the rip currents) can have washed up on the beach. 3) Don't swim in the rivers, streams or ponds they are full of crocs. Don't walk along the edges of same since crocs can charge out of the water really fast. 4) Don't go walking in the bush or tall grass. 3 of the most venomous snakes in the world live there. 5) Don't walk around in your back yard. There are several kinds of very venomous spiders, some of then really big, that hide in burrows or trees. You won't see them but they sure as heck will see you. Conclusion: Stay in your house after plugging all cracks in flooring, walls, heating vents and plumbing to keep the snakes out. Install double screening on all windows and doors to keep out the thousands of disease-carrying mosquitos and the spiders. Sounds like a wildly exciting vacation.

At a resort in northern Australia once, the water was so tempting that I wanted to jump right in. I had heard that jellyfish in Australia could be nasty, so I asked someone working there if getting stung would hurt a lot. He said matter-of-factly, "Oh, it can kill you." I said , "Oh, but that probably does not happen very often, right?" He said calmly, "Oh, no, somebody died here, last year." Crocodiles in Guatemala, I was willing to risk, when I saw locals swimming, but I passed on the tempting beach in Australia. I did though snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef, which was a lifetime memory.

My father told me at a very young age that if your caught in a rip currant to never try swimming against it no matter how good of a swimmer you are, always swim to the side. For our beach swim to the left side if looking at the beach. This will give you a better chance of getting out of the rip tide. Problems arise if it has pulled you under and your not sure what is what direction but if you don't panic you can feel the water movement and then try swimming sideways again. But honestly i don't believe i could not panic if fully under. I actually did get caught in one but a small one above the water atleast. Was still scary im standing on a sand bar and so fast the sandbar disappeared from under my feet and i went from being only 25-30 feet from the shore to far enough that everyone looked like little toy soldier size of something. And i was exhausted just swimming out of the rip tide and even more so swimming the rest of the way back... my father had cancer. A stomach tube and other things like in his neck and wasn't supposed to be swimming because water could get into it but he did some anyway to help encourage me that last little bit cause he could see i was struggling and he figured if i couldn't go anymore he would be there with me already atleast. Luckily he was fine and it didn't hurt him either. He had not swam in years at that point and never did go past knee deep again either. He had gotten his trache taken out at this point tho... not long after it had to be put back in so yeah alot harder to swim with a large hole in your neck and stomach. I Mean its actually more about infection but still

Jellyfish on shore: onshore winds; especially with Bluebottles (what you called Portuguese Manowars). As for your claim that they're deadly for a grown adult to fall into a pile of them - what a crock... when I was 7 years old I was flipped from a short-break wave onto my back landing on the collected masses of Bluebottles - head to toe almost my entire back of my body was covered in their stinging tendrils; stung like hell, but only thing that died was an afternoon's enjoyment. If you're going to prattle on about the perils of Box Jellyfish, it would help viewers if you showed images of the actual peril - help keep clueless tourists alive. Snake on cold wet sand... "looks tired"... it's a reptile. It'll be fine once it warms up. Likely washed out to sea from heavy rainfall. Most snakes are chill until you mess with them. Respect their boundaries and live. The east coast of Australia, especially mid-northern NSW, sees a large volume of migrating sharks. The only time there's an issue with them is from the ones that have gone up a fresh water river (to purge parasites, such as barnacles etc) and are returning hungry and pissed off - and an unlucky human happens to be swimming nearby. Sharks are more likely to attack at night; so with that area being much warmer for a pleasant night swim easily contributes to the likelihood of being chomped on! People don't surf at Fraser Island because the surf sucks (compared to so many easier to access options). The worst "predators" there are the mosquitos! The other things you mentioned are chill or opportunistic, but generally are zero threat if you leave them alone. Reading the surf was something we learnt as kids - being able to instantly tell rip locations and their feeding currents is a very healthy life lesson. Common sense works better when it's common. That Crock you showed in the flat surf near the shore was but an adolescent - the adults are around 20ft long and they bark like dogs/dingoes too! Crocs prefer rivers, and at the very least are easier to detect in the surf (which they prefer to avoid). Something you missed - at the beaches between Ballina and Coffs Harbour that are by natural bush land (eg Red Rock), you can find kangaroos body-surfing in the shore break. Seeming most of your "Aussie Dangers" involved irritating something to qualify, then this encounter would be more potentially dangerous than most of those you've mentioned!

Good ole blue bottles, you’re not a fully fledged Aussie until you’ve been tangled in the blue bottles on the beach.😂 if you want full 100% protection from jellyfish stings of any kind it’s……drumroll…….it’s woman’s stockings! Yes stockings covering your skin will 100% protect you from any jellyfish even the mighty box jellyfish can’t hurt you if your suited up head to toe in nylon stockings. but your on your own against crocodiles, stone fish, blue ring octopus, funnel web/white tip/red back spiders and great white sharks.

The only downside is the 36 hours trip to get there from my country (a 14/15h hours flight, then a 2/3 hours connection, following another 13/14h flight… thank God for the showers at my connection at Dubai’s airport).

There are sea plans that fly over multiple times a day during the swimming seasons to warn swimmers of potential dangers( sharks) popular swimming beaches to have life guards to aid those swimmers who get in trouble. Just like any beach in any country any shore there will be dangerous sea creatures to consider! If you choose to swim in areas that are unsafe then that is your choice!

We used to have an incredible beach culture here when I grew up, but the politicians banned netting beaches for sharks, and stopped us shooting the crocs. Most of the places I use to swim every weekend, a person won't survive swimming in now. it's not even safe to walk with your partner on the beach. People do get charged by crocs coming up the beach to ambush people in the wash zone. They do need to be constantly thinned out but the 'enlightened' ones would rather save every nasty dangerous critter they can find and claim to be "endangered", which is of course a never-ending load of crap.

Bluebottle jellyfish often swarm the beaches. Individually they are not deadly, but they pack quite a sting. I know because, when I was a young boy, a bluebottle jellyfish wrapped itself around my big toe. I was still going through puberty at the time, but by the time the venom travelled up my leg I soon knew I had some dangly bits down below when the venom hit the groin. The pain eventually passed but this kind of incident can be much worse if you swim right into a swarm and become wrapped in hundreds of tentacle stingers - then it can be life-threatening.

On the more serious side, mis-represented information like this can get people hurt or killed. This video should be taken down really. But hopefully people read the comments.

There is a tiny box jellyfish which can sneak through the netting and sting people. Add to that, box jellyfish have rudimentary vision!

You are talking about the box jellyfish that is about the size of an average adult thumbnail, the irakhanji probably not spelled right lol. but it is Australias most poisonous jellyfish and can kill in less than 20 minutes without medical intervention. Even with medical intervention the pain lasts 24 hours along with the symptoms.

I thought those little stinging jellyfish were blue bottles, & portugese man of war are huge. Ive been stung horrifically by multiple blue bottles as a kid & it was excruciating for hours.

As an Australian I find it amusing that you point out the extreme danger of Australian beaches. I mean while we are risking our lives on our “deadly beaches” more that 40000 Americans a year are dying from gun related events. We don’t actively support the minimal number of deaths that occur on our beaches by supporting an amendment in our constitution that would prevent these deaths.

Aussies swim all the time. In fact, there's quite a few professional surfers from Australia. And, as it turns out, they actually learned how to surf IN Australia. It's Australia, mate. Everything is dangerous. The land is, at least, as dangerous as the ocean, probably more so. That may be why tourists don't swim in Australia, but most Australians swim at the beaches.

Aussie's really seem to me like warmer weather Canadians (I say as a Canadian). Like legit, everything is dangerous here too and usually the shit that looks the worst is gunna be the least of the worry. As daunting as some beaches may seem, I'd swim with jellys any day before taking on the interior desert 😅 heck, I can get out of the water way easier than say out run a pissed off koala (or guess drop bear if they hear my Cannuck accent😅😂) Sorta like here people think bears be the worst but legit you are most likely to get your day ruined by a pissed off goose or a horny bull moose in rutting season. Hell, our childhood past time of sledding is probably more deadly 😅
