Seriously, that map has just given me more reason not to visit a island full of poison, sharp teeth and spiders that chase you

All the reasons why I've never entertained moving out there

I always remember my mate who now lives out there, upon his final move out there arrived at his wife-to-be's flat to find one of those Huntsman spiders on the wall as they opened the front door. It's not the sort of welcome I'd envisage really....

I think I would be forever looking around me and especially the kids for things

I always think when Joe Mangles missus got bitten by that spider whilst having a picnic etc

Good, we have enough people out here without all you pale grey faced, sun starved, damp, cold, over populated, debt ridden pommies. You are all secretly jealous.

Many of your fellow countrymen will fly two hours to Majorca just to see some sunshine...I would too, anything to get out of that miserable little island.

Shmoogs.....your mate must be a whimp if he can't handle a hunstman. Even my 72 year old mother (who is staying from the UKbecause she hates the winter) can get a huntsman out of the house in a few seconds without harming it!

N Pinks, I agree, please don't visit best, you stay in Blighty. I mean, you drive a white Freelander.....and hang out in an RRS forum..

I Might just take your advice and stay home were the spider meet a size 11 shoe without throwing it back at you


Are you Sure you don't work in tourism responding to enquires

I had a great few months out there years back on the NSW coast - brilliant

Huntsman by the khazi at 2am - he backed off and the biggest cockroach lookylikey i had ever seen

Need to look at the map to recall where that was - old hippy place, brilliant
