You may find articles stating that they're hoaxes. They are not. These koala looking things are the reason why Australians invented Vegemite in the first place. Did you actually think anybody eats that stuff? Of course not. Every Australian who's lived past five knows you keep a jar of Vegemite on you at all times in case you're surrounded by those things. Get your jar, then flash it, smash it, and dash it.
As a Canadian, I wouldn't survive an Australian minute (equivalent to about 0.25 seconds) in the bush.
Why would Australians need to make up another terror creature? Everything there will bite, sting, poison, or otherwise maim you from what I understand. Even the kangaroos are said to not be real friendly.
They're real. I'd play you the phone call I had with my Aussie friend but it's too vulgar for the internet, so let me conveniently transcribe it for you instead.
"DROPBEARS ARE REAL, MATE. ONE OF THE BUGGERS NEARLY RIPPED ME FACKIN' ARM OFF, THE BLUDDY CUNT. LOUISE, I TOLD YA TO BRING MORE VEGEMITE. SHOULDA KNOWN BETTER THAN TO BRING BIKKIES TO THE BUSH. PASS ME SOME OF THE AMBER FLUID. DROPBEARS ARE REAL. DON'T LET SOME INTERNET CUNT TELL YA OTHERWISE."
He's recovered but hasn't been the same since. Can't even look at a picture of a koala without reaching for his vegemite.
running to google "dropbear"...

I bet it has him longing for milder situations like a giant poisonous spider hauling a rat up his wall.

Do a web search on the Queensland bird eating spider! That will give you nightmares!Also check out funnel web spiders!
As for the drop bears,not a problem,you just smear Vegemite on yourself,problem solved,the buggers won't come near ya!
