What’s going to Australia like?

American here. We all know it takes close to a day and a half to travel from Chicago to Australia.

How long is “ enough” to get the “ Australian experience?” Ten days? Twelve?

When is best to go? It might be a minor concern but what is the bug/ spider situation there?

I know there are many deadly snakes and bugs in Australia, but I also know I am unlikely to come across them. There are however more than a few bugs and critters whose bite isn’t deadly might just be painful and inconvenient.

How common is, say a huntsman spider in a hotel room? Big roaches? Thoughts?
