LOL,You sound like me 4 years ago,,lol
I live on acerage just outside Beaudesert, its a great place.
In the 3 and half years we have been here i have had on my property
1 teeney green tree snake which is harmless
1 baby brown snake up near the pool
A redback in hubbys shed
and thats about it
The best bit,,, my friend lives on a more built up estate she has had numerous snakes wandering past,lol
You worry yourself more reading about everything before you come but after youve been here a few weeks and realise theres not something behind every corner waiting to pounce you do forget about them.
If you saw me on WDU you will know how freaked about the wildlife i was,lol, thankfully i can laugh now cause as i said above i have realised it is very rare that you will come across these creatures, infact my daughter spends most of her time running around here in bare feet, i really wouldnt allow that if i thought it was to dangerous.
Gary (hubby) goes surfing most weeks and sometimes takes my 11 yr old with him,so far both still have all limbs intack,lol, there is shark nets down the coast but to be honest they arent that much use. Shark attacks are rare and i think you have more chance of being run over by bus crossing the road to the beach,lol.
You do see blue bottles, hubby was stung a few weeks ago (but that was karma as he had told me he was working and went surfing,lmao) he said it was like the wind batting the sand against your legs and not overly painful. I must admit if thers alot of blue bottles out i tend to avois going in the sea that week,, you can see them and coastal watch etc normally report them so you know they are about.
You will be fine,,,,, promise! lol
