People think we ride kangaroos to work every day here in Australia, which is a ridiculous notion and totally false. We only ride kangaroos to work twice a week, on the other days we catch the public ferry which is pulled by a giant platypus.
They also think we have to constantly worry about poisonous snakes and spiders, which once again is totally false. The snakes and spiders kill very people here, because the dropbears kill most people (especially tourists) before the snakes and spiders can get to them.
