First of all, It's Dannii Minogue. And she's a plus not a minus.
Also, in the 25 years I lived there I only ever encountered the mosquitoes and the jellyfish. But the backpacker murderer lived about 15 minutes from my mum's house if I remember correctly.
I trash Australia all the time but I also get defensive when other people do (sometimes, especially when they don't special pop stars' names right).
and look for travel books by Bill Bryson, or I sent a copy to wesa if she still has it. In the US I believe it is called "A Sunburnt Country"...In Oz I think it is called "Down Under".
Here is a quote:
'It is the driest, flattest, hottest, most desiccated, infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents and still Australia teems with life – a large portion of it quite deadly. In fact Australia has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way than anywhere else’.
