Ah, Australia. The only continent that's an island. The only island that's a continent. The only nation completely occupying a continent. The oldest continent. How can't you kill us more thoroughly and painfully and interestingly than any other part of the Earth? The most venomous mammal, the most venomous jellyfish, the most venomous octopus, etc. Not to mention the only saltwater crocodile, which also happens to be the *largest* crocodile.

Within historic time - and perhaps today - they had a land reptile which could devour a Komodo Dragon in one bite.
