In the 10 months I was there all I bumped into was 2 golden orb spiders outside, some sort of green spider, one spider that just looked like a UK house spider and a dead tiny huntsman. I was hoping to see a proper huntsman to scare people back home
I was worried I was going to find them in my shoes or in my tent etc but it wasn't bad at all. In the outback we had these things that they called stink bugs, they were like cockroaches but they spray you. Was the stuff of nightmares, I'd handle a spider over that any day lol
