These lizards have very big bodies and small limbs and they can't climb a tree

No they aren't. You must be thinking of a Goanna.

I think 9 was talking proportionally their bodies are large compared to their legs. Goannas in fact can climb trees quite well with their claws as well.

Agreed. Blue tongue lizards are a type of skink, not dog-sized monitors, and ringtail/brushtail possums are not so huge you couldn't push it off you, in the unlikely event it did try to attack.

#7 the blue tongue lizards op is talking about can get pretty big and when they latch on they won't let go

anyone with a brain would run from an animal that could potentially be rabid or of the animal is plainly angry and wants to attack you. I don't know about you, but I'd like to avoid taking a trip to the hospital for shots or stitches.

There is absolutely no chance an Australian animal has rabies since rabies doesn't exist in Australia. Furthermore, blue tongues are docile harmless creatures; I have seen many had had them living in my garden and never had an issue. If OP was chased by a blue tongue, then he/she was probably harassing it and fully deserved the reaction. Possums, on the other hand, I wouldn't mess with. They have very sharp claws.

Hard to know what you're getting into if you were born there. Just saying I didn't exactly choose to live in this winter wonderland. But you end up loving despite its flaws.

Plot twist: one of those spiders was waiting for him in the tree.
