Re: Dangerous animals!
Hi,
We also have small children (aged 6 and 2) and were very worried about this too at the start of the process (which, incidentally feels about 100 years ago!). Since then I have made sure that I have educated myself and the boys about the 'wildlife' over there and have stopped them from picking up spiders here so that it wont come as a shock when we get over there. If you do a search on here for spiders and snakes, you will see loads of threads with info and advice but dont worry about it, were going to Queensland so will encounter lots of 'beasties' but the people who already live there say we should be more worried about the road accidents etc so I have since relaxed about the whole thing.
Good luck!

Re: Dangerous animals!
I know exactly what you mean! 
They just cant resist getting full of soil etc from the garden can they? Obviously here not a problem (apart from trying to get their clothes clean of course 
) but over there, just a few more things to think about.
My youngest will even answer "look dont touch" when I ask him what we do with spiders now! Get started ASAP!!
