    Well, I was always curious about this question...

    In regard to the fact that Australia was a prisoner colony first, is it known how many of Australians are descendants of these earlier prisoners?

    I don't mean it wrong, I am just curious.

    There are Aussies who can trace their roots to the first settlers. Though i don't think there's an actual count on the exact amount.

    According to wikipedia, 20%, which sounds about right and was around what I'd guessed for Anglo-Celtic Australians, but even for those people most of their ancestors who came were not convicts. Australians are generally relaxed and humourous about having convict ancestry, and often see it as a point of pride, though that is perhaps a more recent phenomenon.

    Over exaggerated fear. Don't get me wrong, there are dangerous spiders in Australia, but it's not really something we have in the back of our minds.

    Same with snakes. Although my family have had to kill a few brown snakes in the past. Worlds second most venomous snakes. My Grandma cut it's head with a shovel once.
