Plan B Forum

Ok, last day of our holiday we hired a car. Our plan was to go hiking and touring in the hills around Adelaide and to visit some of the scenic towns there. We got off to a great start on Mt Lofty, as they had a cafe there which did us a tea toast and scrambled eggs to fill us up and fuel us up for the day. We knocked off a short trail there just to warm up.

So we drove off from there looking for another venue. We were driving along a windy hill road, very scenic, when Hen screamed loudly. Now fortunately, I'm quite used to this, though this was a particularly loud scream. Hen's screams are normally followed by; "Did you not see/just hit/run over that old person/truck/gorge/policeman?!?!"

So I turned to look at her, and screamed myself!

This little beauty had run up the passenger side window. Wonderfully sunlit from behind, glowing in effect.



We came very close to having to pay to get the car seats dry cleaned.

Fully grown huntsman, about 6 inches in span. My heart didn't slow down to under 120 bpm until I realised it was on the outside of the car.

Such a beauty when you are safe from them.

More on this tale, plus more photos to come, when I write up our website next.

ROTFLMFCO!

Settle down the both of you. That is a beautiful spider. (Have I mentioned that I loves me spiders?)

Jesus H Keerist. With all of the creepy crawling, swimming living death that Oz has to offer; to read that response to a itty bitty Huntsman is really funny.

Can't wait to see the pics from the trip.

Thanks Tim, I'm working on them as we speak!

Face it, the fauna are out to get you.
