In Australia, Which Part Has The Least Number Of Spiders?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The big cities.  Just like anywhere else in the world.

    Especially in the south.  Insects and similar creatures like hot humid conditions.  It does get hot in the south, but a bit too dry for many little creatures to be comfortable.

    Spiders also dislike wind, so anywhere on a windy coastline is pretty good for avoiding them.

    Austalia has an undeserved reputation for incredibly dangerous spiders.  The total numer of deaths ever recorded in Australia from spider bites is less than a hundred.  There have been no Australian fatalities from spider bites since 1979.  Yes people have been bitten by venomous spiders since 1979, but treatment is very effective and widely available.  People are not damaged for life, either, by their enconters.  Most of the bites come from just a few species, who usually will run away from you as fast as possible, if given half a chance.
