A couple weekends ago we traveled 3 hours inland to Charlton, VIC for a stay with some friends who attend the Geelong church with us. It was an organized "young adults" trip to spend a weekend away and to see some different parts of Australia. We had a great time getting to know our hosts, taking in a local footy match and attending the local church. The churchfolk where mostly farmers who were very interesting to talk with and reminded me of many small farming communities in the States.
Saturday night we built a bonfire from some dry brush and tree clippings. After putting a few branches in, I sat down by the fire and I felt something on the back of my neck. I quickly flicked at whatever it was and after realizing it was probably more than just a leaf, I went to look in the direction the thing might have gone. After a bit of searching in the dark we found the Huntsman spider in the video crawling away from the scene. While pretty big for a spider, they aren't dangerous but are creepy just the same. Who knows how long it might have been crawling up my back before it got to my neck?
