It may not be the best saying I have heard but it is the one that sticks in my mind the most.
When I was 12 I was dropped from the school football team because the school coach said
"you have a temper as mad as a cut snake"

Many Aussies can relate to the saying "as mad a cut snake" especially in the country where snakes are in abundance and if you cut one in half iwth a shovel the head half thrashes around madly everywhere bite anything or anyone that come near it. There were quite a few fatal snake bites to old farmers in the past when that happened.

I guess I would be pretty mad if someone hit me in the middle of the back with a shovel too.
