And for anyone looking for a similarly light-hearted look at our friends to the South, I cannot recommend In a Sunburned Country, by Bill Bryson, enough.
They forgot the giant mutant jellyfish and the ninja mini-stingers (irikandji) in Queensland...
Tassie also has lots of poisonous snakes as well as the devils. We have no non-venemous snakes here at all, so if it has scales and no legs, avoid the business end!
We also get bushfires, big-arse spiders, killer wombats, drop bears, fangaroos and hoop snakes... thankfully no cane toads yet - I don't think any of them can swim as far as the Bass Strait. And just lately we've been catching a few stinging box jellyfish on our beaches.
Queensland needs more cyclones, Victoria needs gale force winds (frequently fanning the bushfires).
Bass Strait needs storms and rogue waves.
North Queensland needs stonefish. But I guess non-Aussies wouldn't know what they are. (Worse than sharks, folks.)
Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

Also, "cyclones" in our case are hurricanes/tornados. They tend to stay well away from my state
Probably caused by fear of the sharks (either that or the large amount of land in the way), all though a few years ago one of the cyclones that hit the north-east coast nearly reached Alice Springs (town nearly in the exact centre of the country)
Killer wombats? They're pretty cute - do they kill with cuteness?
Most Australian wildlife tend to be very dangerous when irritated, Koala's have are often known to attack farm animals. (Fun fact: Koala Bears are normally drunk, this brings the question of just how bored the police in firehart's state must have been to try to breath test them in the first place.)
