 Why? They are not aggressive animals. Perentie Behaviour  I have never felt threatened by them. Just be aware to always leave plenty of escape route for them. They only attack when cornered. If you are that scared of them then I suggest you give all of the outback country a miss, you are at more risk from the joe blakes than the perenties.

And with the Snakes.
Leave them alone. make a noise while walking. Don't stand on a sleeper.
Don't get t'ween a mum and her nest.
and DON'T go anywhere near a Tiger.
Those things like a bad tempered wife. They'll go you just to go you.

I had one chase me up my excavator track onto cab roof once.
I dug it's nest of young ones up. Was she wild.
