It's a wonderful place once you get used to living with a medicine cabinet containing anti-poisons for spider bites where you have 30 seconds to live.
An acquaintance of mine who lived in the outback would always shake out his shoes before putting them on. The one time he didn't, he was bit by a spider that pierced right through his toenail. Imagine that. He had to be rushed to the hospital and pumped with anti toxins because he forgot to refill his first aid kit (or something to that effect).
Oh, yeah, and creepy crawlies straight out of Jurassic Park.
j/k - it isn't that bad apparently and my sister-in-law said she got used to it after the first year living there as a kid.
