Definitely not an Australian fish. Keen anglers tried to introduce them, but they kept getting wiped out by the native fish. True story, I swear.

Looks sorta carpish, scale-wise.

I don't think Australian wildlife/ weather/ landscape is necessarily xenophobic.
It just wants to kill anything and everything regardless of whether it's native or imported (Cane Toads excepted - Australian humans did that and they need to do the killing bit too.)

Oz just basically looks at anything and says, "Om nom nom nom."

I've only met one non-Australian Australian.
She was first generation (as we reckon it)
Irish parents moved to Aus, spawned a whiny child, she decamped as soon as she could to come and plague us in England. She hated Ireland (too wet) hated England (not Australia) and hated Australia.
You had to be wary of getting this girl onto the subject of her homeland because she had a list as long as her scrawny arm about how awful it was.

Don't get me wrong, with family and (I hope) friends in Aus I am happy to joke about it.
But this girl was venomous.
She probably wasn't allowed back into Eire because St Patrick got rid of all the snakes.

Gosh - I knew her about 20 years ago. Turns out I hold a fierce grudge.
Actually, no. She was a nasty piece of work. So there.

Saw this over at The Shack, and had to look twice. WTF??

It's a Spiny Orb-Weaver! The first I've seen wit me own eyes.

The abdomen was about the size of a pea (¼-inch-ish).

Now that is pretty.
If it was the size of a golfball it would be yuck.
Size matters.

Not a criticism, more an admission of ignorance, I expected spiders and couldn't work out what I was seeing.

Blimey.
That's... sucky.

My throat. It got me in my throat.

Rock climbing makes me consider the fact that a cliff face is is the exposed surface after a bunch of rock broke off.

And that chair is probably fastened by sticking into an existing crack a device which attempts to widen that crack, and relies on the hope that it is unable to do so.
