Katipo spiders aren't anything to worry about, you'll probably never encounter one.

White tail spiders, on the other hand, are quite common!

Earthquakes? There are plenty of those (several earthquakes are recorded each DAY!)

The fact that Auckland is built on a volcanic plate, which if errupts, will errupt directly UNDER the city... little more worrying i rekon.

Christchurch under constant threat from flooding from the sea swells.

Wellington waiting for 'the big one' (earthquake) any time soon. Scientists rekon this is 'highly probable' within the next 50 years.

If you want to live safely, away from earthquakes and volcanos, then apparently Northland is the safest place to be...

Only problem there is Northland has sharks in the sea!
