This kid isn`t educated about the dangers in Oz at all so is a prime candidate for sticking his hands into places redbacks like to be, without knowing it.

Rules for Oz critters:
- don`t stick your hand in sheltered places (spiders/snakes could live there).
- don`t walk on rocks and reef at the seaside without wearing surf-shoes (blue-ringed octopus and rock-fish kill you in seconds when you step on them barefoot).
- Don`t swim or surf at dawn or dusk if possible (sharks).
- keep out of the way of jellyfish... no matter how small they are.
- don`t jump in pools of water in the North-west, North or Queensland. (Crocs can get everywhere).
- Watch out for the hopper ants in southern Aus (they can kill).

It`s a totally different scenario than the UK, where the most dangerous thing is a slug (you might slip on it).
