.

Thre of them are coastal or sea dwelling creatures, the Jellyfish is seasonal, the octopus is only dangerous if you stick your hand or foot into them, and the chance of you being taken by a great white is smaller than being hi by lightning!

The Sydney Funnel web has that name because that's where it is located ( it habitat is cosatal NSW with Sydney as it's centerpoint.

Alice Springs you would have been safe from all four. Just watch out for the dingo's, they moved on from eating babies. They prefer American tourist, More fat, Less fight!

I've lived in taht very dangerous town, the epicentre of sheer terror that is Sydney for most of my 43 years and have never seen any of the deadly animals in the wild with the exception of the octopus which I saw once in a rock pool whilst visiting Gunamatta bay near Cronulla. I've been a keen hiker and camper for most of that time and have only seen 2 deadly snakes in all that time. Never been bitten by anything more ferocious than a mosquito and have never felt really in danger from the wildlife here.

As long as you take the proper precautions nothing is likely to make a meal of you:
