The last time we were planning a trip down under there were documentaries on TV describing the world’s most deadly animals, the majority of them being in Australia.

Fran has all but overcome her fear of poisonous spiders, snakes, beautiful but deadly sea creatures and the like, not to mention sharks.

So I was thinking that our latest planned trip down under would not be too stressful. Alas after some deep delving around the

intertubes I came up with some disturbing information that may well put the kybosh on the trip from Fran’s point of view.

Seems there is a some sort of a cover-up by certain sections of the Antipodean society but as is the want these days the truth usually surfaces, I just hope I can keep the bad news from Fran at least until we are on the plane over the pacific.

I present the Drop Bear.
