dropbears?! You mean you forgot the smarties and the vegemite? But... thats... basic Aussie survival!

Damn. I guess that gives you a right to use your stereotypical Aussie colloquialisms (hey, dictionary.com said I got it right first time! I feel special for using a big word!).

For those who don't know what a Dropbear is, it is a close cousin to the Koala. Reports of animal attacks on people aren't that common, not by this animal at least, and it doesn't get much in the way of media attention. Several tourists evey year however, fall victim to it. So next time your in the Australian bush, don't stand under trees for too long, take extra precautions when camping and make sure you are extra alert at night time.
