It's tiny, almost invisible and one of the most dangerous creatures on earth. Just wait until you see the havoc it causes. And this little monster is one of ours. It's a jelly fish called 'Irukandji' that spends the summer months in the warm tropical waters up north. Now, if that word Irukandji means nothing to you, you're not alone. Not only is this the most venomous Aussie of them all, it's one of those great scientific mysteries. It's also one of our best kept secrets. Hardly a tourist attraction, and certainly not the kind the tourist industry wants to see on national television.
