I live in Queensland, Rusty. I am quite aware of just how tropical we can get. It's just that the majority of Australia is technically desert (whether it be a sandy desert, a stony desert, or just scrubland, it doesn't matter, it's all desert), whihc is why we are called a desert island. If you look at the map of Vacuo, it's got green on it as well, but it's still referred to as the desert kingdom by the fanbase simply because of the references to how sandy it is.

And Eastern Browns are the most agressive snakes in Australia, and put tigersnakes to serious shame. I live around them.

The 'everything can kill you' is a joke. It's just a thing a lot of us Australians like to say. A bit like telling people about the drop bears, or telling them to smear vegemite on their face and ears to ward off mosquitoes. It's a joke.
