The danger of animals in Australia is overblown. Deaths from spider or snake are extremely rare, like maybe one a decade. Compare that to deaths caused by moose in Canada (leading cause of accidental death in Newfoundland, incidentally).
Cockroaches and the occasional huntsman spider are always good cause for a serious scare in the house in Australia though. Them, and the flies in the outback which don't do anything except annoy you to death, are the worst critters of Oz. And sand flies! Aussies complain about their mosquitoes but honestly Canadian mosquitoes kick their asses any day.
