Whe I was a kid - we lived in the north west of Western Australia (in the bush) and we had goanna's come into our garden, snakes in the house all the time. My dad is petrified (sp) of all of them and use to leave poor Mum to deal with it all.

Lynne - we dont have snakes walking down our streets so you would be ok - and we dont have any clowns! I think you would be safe..

How about Kangaroo steaks - I havent tried them but have heard they are nice (roo meat)

Yeah c'mon Corin, New England has what ??
