The first time I went to Australia I arrived on my own in Port Douglas
tropical Queensland at our apartment and as it was getting dark pulled
the curtains. The biggest spider I have ever seen outside of a zoo fell
to the floor and laid there upside down not moving. Must be dead I
thought so I went to pick it up and it jumped a foot in the air, I
jumped 6ft, it was tropical Australia after all. I had to get a large
pudding basin to cover it, catch it and put it outside.
Later found out it was a harmless Huntsman.
Later that same day, after my wife had arrived having travelled another
route, whilst shutting the front door behind me, a large bright green
frog landed on my chest with a thump and stuck there. Another welcome to
the tropics!


NOT a very nice experience!
