The Common Spiders of Darwin

Bites and Stings

Darwin, the tropical capital of Australia’s Northern Territory, is home to a rich diversity of wildlife - including an impressive array of spiders. From the sprawling webs of golden orb-weavers to the cryptic camouflage of trapdoor spiders, these arachnids play a vital role in the local ecosystem. While some may inspire fear, the majority are harmless and even beneficial, helping to control insect populations.

First Aid for Falls

Injury

Falls are one of the most common causes of injury, particularly among children and older adults. Whether it’s a simple trip or a serious fall from height, knowing how to administer first aid can prevent further injury and, in some cases, save a life.

First Aid for Cyclone-Related Injuries

Seasonal Concerns

Injuries during cyclones often result from flying debris, collapsing structures, and flooding. Knowing basic first aid can help prevent further harm while waiting for emergency services.

Preparing for a Cyclone

Seasonal Concerns

If a cyclone makes landfall, meaning that it crosses from the sea onto land while still being strong enough to be classified as a cyclone, the damage it can cause can be disastrous. Preparation is key to minimising the risks associated with cyclones. The damaging weather can last for days, exacerbating risks as hazards intensify.
