If a half-hearted vampire costume and a badly-carved pumpkin won't quite cut it, then Australia has several better options for getting the heart pumping.

Whether getting in the water with a five metre croc, a ghostly quarantine station, taking a leap of faith down a waterfall or mysterious outback lights, here's where you can go to get properly scared. Climbing trees is just good fun, right?

Well, not when they're a 75 metre tall karri, and the only way up is a series of metal pegs hammered into the trunk. The good news for the jelly-legged adventurers who make it to the top is that it's even worse coming down. That's when you have to look down as you're carefully placing your feet on the pegs.

I felt like I was being watched, so I just told my friend to run and we started running out of there until I tripped on a bone. Then I looked around and there were hundreds of bones scattered everywhere. So we ran even faster.

The silence under the pines, the disorientating rows on rows on rows of trees with no landmarks, feeling both claustrophobic and completely exposed at the same time.

Aptly named vampire bats , the most common one feeds solely on the blood of mammals, including humans. Best to stay out of dark alleyways at night. Isn't nature wonderful? The male platypus has half-inch poisonous spurs located on the inner side of each back ankle. Scientists believe that males use these spurs to compete with rivals during the breeding season.
