Hi
Having looked at schools for our teenagers and decided Avondale College is fab, we have hit a major setback.
I have a strong and irrational fear of spiders, especially the big, fast-moving kind. So when I was checking out Avondale generally and I saw info on the Avondale spider, I freaked. Now I know they are harmless and I'm doing all I can to overcome this fear but it's a deal breaker for me if I can't overcome it. Even though the White Tail can give a nasty bite, it doesn't worry me because it's small - that's how irrational this fear is.
What I'd love to know from you residents is how likely I'd be to see one in Avondale and how likely I'd be to see one in the rest of Auckland, please?
Spiders! It had to be spiders! Why couldn't it be snakes, or crocodiles or lions........
