I bet the real Aussie Turkeys are two dangerous to hunt.

Davistown was a small community in NSW, until the Great Turkey Uprising!

The Army was called, and after much knife-to-breast fighting, the Turkeys were pushed into the sea.

While we do have the domesticated turkey here on farms and intensively raised for Christmas.

 

We also have the Australian Brushturkey  -

 

"The Australian brushturkey or Australian brush-turkey or gweela, also frequently called the scrub turkey or bush turkey, is a common, widespread species of mound-building bird from the family Megapodiidae found in eastern Australia from Far North Queensland to Eurobodalla on the South Coast of New South Wales".

It was kind of Mother Nature to paint the target area red.....

I think he's referring to the mnemonic associated with telling the difference between the Eastern Red Coral Snake and a species of King Snake.

 

"Red on yellow will kill a fellow.  Red on black, the venom lack."  is the way I was taught it.

 

Coral snakes are extremely poisonous while King Snakes are nonpoisonous and kill other snakes.

That's how I learned it, except that it was red TOUCH yellow, and red TOUCH black. Because both snakes have red and black on them and red and yellow on them, but only the poisonous snake has the red touching the yellow.

The largest cattle station in the world is located in Australia and it's bigger than Israel.

 

 In Australia, sheep outnumber people 2.5 to 1 (in 2020).

 

The Australian climate is one of extremes with the highest temperature ever recorded being 50.7 °C (123.3 °F) on 2 Jan 1960 in Oodnadatta (SA) and the lowest, −23.0 °C (−9.4 °F) on 29 June 1994 at Charlotte’s Pass (NSW).

 

The Dingo Fence runs over 5,530km through Queensland and South Australia. It is the longest fence in the world and is 3 times the length of the Great Wall of China!

 

In 2005, security guards at Canberra’s Parliament House were banned from calling people ‘mate’. The ban lasted only one day.

 

The venom of the elusive platypus can kill a dog.

 

Australia has the largest population of feral camels (wild camels) in the world. There are an estimated 1.2 million camels roaming around 37% of the Australian mainland across Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory.

 

 

Aussies drink 1.7 billion litres of beer per year (that’s about 680 bottles of beer for each adult.)

 

Aussies eat over 270 million meat pies a year (and there's only 25 million if us!).

 

20% of the worlds gambling machines (pokies) can be found in Australia, with more than 80% of Aussie’s participating in some form of gambling (move over, Las Vegas!)
