Australia FAQ

I would like to try living in Australia some time, but my wife is so worried about poisonous spiders and snakes all the time, and that one of them might get one of our cats. But aren't there areas where our kitties could go roaming and stay "unbitten"? How's Tasmania for that? Or Adelaide? Or... I haven't a clue. Do you have any knowledge of a creepie-crawlie free region in Australia?

I've always wondered why in Australia the seasons start on the 1st of every third month as opposed to most other countries I know of that start on the 21st of every third month. Eg. Summer in Australia starts on the 1st of December. However winter in the Northern hemisphere doesn't begin until the 21st of December. Shouldn't summer begin on the 21st of December as well? Are there any other countries that do this as well? And if so why? Which is the correct date?

Hello everyone, I am from Uruguay. My name is Saul. I have a doubt about your origins. You people from Australia, how do the first ancestors get into that Island? The country of Australia is in the middle of a huge ocean so, centuries ago there were no people in the country, when people started to migrate to other regions they walked. So how those people cross the ocean to get into Australia?

Did this person intend to live in Australia? Did they perhaps jump ship? I expect this person arrived prior to 1800. In 1802 Americans were on Kangaroo Island whaling and building a boat that took them to Sydney. These are the first Americans I know of. The three officers with Cook in 1770 were not Americans as they were before the declaration of independence, 1776.
