wtgRain in Australia
quote:
Record-breaking floods in southeastern Australia have caused a mass animal exodus to higher ground, with spiders in particular surging onto people's land and into their homes.
Rains have been inundating communities since Thursday, but parts of the east coast tipped into crisis on Saturday as a major dam overflowed, adding to swollen rivers and causing flash flooding.
On Monday, New South Wales (NSW) Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced that nearly 18,000 people have been evacuated from flood-hit regions in the state, and locals took to social media to show that thousands of animals have been on the move, too.

big alDaniel is right; Australia has a lot of more or less deadly animals, including the notorious Sydney funnel web spider. It was only during the time when I and my family lived there that they even developed an antivenom for their bite.
