Australia 2006
About 500 images shot on a recent trip to the Sydney, NSW area. There is a little something for everyone. Yes, there are some snakes too :-) I got a bit tired of adding captions,identifying flora and fauna of all of the images. I'll finish them ...maybe. Email me with any questions, please use the image# if the question is about a specific photo.

The Sydney Funnel-web Spider (Atrax robustus)
A Fangs eye view of the business end of this beastie seen crossing the road in NP. Bites are dangerous and can cause serious illness or death. The venom appears to particularly affect primates (ie humans), whereas other mammals - such as cats and dogs - are relatively resistant. The one pictured, now resides at the Australian Reptile Park where it's milked for venom to be used in Antivenom production.
