G'Day Fella's,

Thanks for sharing NitroX.

I had been told in the past, that the Inland Taipan, was the most venomous snake in Oz (and hence the Planet), followed by Costal Taipan (#2), then the verious Brown snakes (were #3, #4),and then the Tiger snake, etc.

Brown snakes are not uncommon around where I live, and Hunt locally.
When I was taking one of my regular afternoon walks/slogs, I came across a 4 foot ...ish long (1.2 meter) Brown snake, sunning itself, on the track ahead of me. This was about 400 meters from my home.
You just have to look where you are stepping, and if possible step heavily,to let them know you are near by (they will get out of your way, ....... if you give them that option).
The problem is, when you are pussy footing around/stalking in the Bush!
I spend more time looking Down in front of me, than I do for huntable animals!!!

Keep safe and carry a Snake Bite Kit, in your pack!

D'oh!
