Re: Giant Loop round Australia

I bought it privately off an old couple in Nowra that I found in the Trading Post. Basically got the train there and then drove it back to Sydney. It cost around $7000.

Re: Is this a redback spider?

It's a redback alright. Kill it! Unless of course you just want to take it outside somewhere and throw it in a bush. Personally I don't like to handle them :blink:
