    On time there was a massive huntsman spider that had built a web across the trail and was sitting right there in the middle. I slammed on the brakes just about causing a pile up. When asked what the problem was words failed me and all I could say was "Bug! Bug! Bugity Bugity Bug! Look! Look!" whilst hopping from one foot to the other...... not my finest moment
    I would have paid to see that.

    On our honeymoon (last Century...) Child-Bride and I were holidaying in Kalbarri, several hours north of Perth, Fishing/Tourist town.
    One evening we walked into the local Beer-Garden...under a shady tree...and the more Beautiful half walked straight through a massive (Orb?) web.

    There was much squealing and 'EEeeks'... Spider was the size of a dinner plate (Ok, poetic licence, it looked like one) and dangled from an outstretched arm.
    My finest moment... took the bungee with annoyed spider attached - made loud and obsequious apologies to said Monster for destroying her web, knocking her around and damages to her hearing from the Wife's screaming .... - and transferred her to the bushes.

    We got a round of applause...

    EDIT:- Do spiders have ears ? This one seemed stunned by the noise... Understandable.

    Wife and others took a Youth Group down half the trail. Camped 3 nights... Absolutely NO wild-life... Nary a spider or web, bandicoot or Dingo...
    Kids were too tired to be wild.

    All this talk of the Munda Biddi makes me want to get out there again.

    Obviously they were preceded by a family of bipeds on deadly treadlies.

    Yep and sounding like a herd of elephants even when not on the bikes scaring all the critters away . Either that or they just didn't go far enough south as in the Yarri or Nglang Boodja huts.

    Best critter around Collie was the racehorse goanna. I now understand how they got that name. Biggest critter was the white tipped brush tail possum that tried to squeeze between the spokes one night (to try and get to the food) even though it would have weighed about 20kg.

    Still yet to see any snakes despite all the warnings.
