No I don't plan on visiting any time soon. A simple look on sites like Buzzfeed has some terrifying lists of deadly creatures. There's even a snail that can kill you!
Funny enough Australian friends I made in Europe commented how much crazier our potentially lethal animals were because we had large mammals like Bears and wolves that could potentially kill you. Statistically they've probably got nowhere near the body count of spiders and snakes in Australia though. Not to mention their aquatic alpha predators like Salt water crocs and sharks.
