  • Here they come - what a life of luxury it is living in the UK with virtually no creepey crawley scarey bugs or scarey poisonous things to watch out for - just the bombers and the pollution and the politics maybe but then thats another story!- and back in Sydney just a few minutes and here they appear!

    The giant cockroaches! They are prolific in Brisbane and the warmer norther parts where they seem to congregate in almost hundreds so that when you come home at night and turn on the light they are scurrying all ove the place as if they think theyll get out of sight in time!
    Like the huge cane toads, these huge cockroaches have made their ways further south and now are quite a normal sight around your homes in Sydney. Its not about lack of cleanliness - they just get in anyway.

    For me its the flyspray that has to be handy - if anyone else is home I get them to deal with them - and Im not into crunching them underfoot myself and definitely prefer not to be in hearing distance if someone is happy to execute them that way.

     Nice Sydney bay photos. I have been to S three times but never saw the bay from this angle.

     Thanks for dropping by my Pulau Ubin page, Angie! Thankfully, I encountered no big or poisonous spiders or snakes while in Oz...and I was keeping a very watchful eye out for them! ;-) I loved the Chinatown restaurants in Sydney!
