As a visitor to Aussieland, when I saw wombats, I thought they were cute,
not like Tasmanian devils which looked mean, but somewhat chunky. Any
wombat that could fit under an MG seat was a whose (how do you spell that
word, woose? wuse?), nothing to be feared.
However, I think 9 of the 10 most poisonous animals in the world do live
down under. As far as I'm concerned, keep them there.
