That's the venom...it does that to flesh

Or drive across the continent = endless desert. Except for Uluru which is a huge rock in the middle of the endless desert.

I'd punch the Kangaroo and then it would punch me back and I would spend a couple of weeks in a nice Australian hospital instead. Just kidding.
