[QUOTE="Australian, post: 717243, member: 8793"] it sounds if every two feet you walk in this country you are likely to get bitten. Thats not the case. Not very many people die in Australia from snake bite. They do if proper first aid isn't used. The main snakes in our area are Eastern Brown, Red Bellied Black snake,Blue Bellied Black snake,Tiger snake and Copperhead. The only ones that I have seen on our place are Eastern Browns and Red Bellied Black. Down to our east at the lower altitude coastal area they have the same as us ( except Copperhead) they also have Death Adders, Clarence River rough scaled and Taipans have been caught but not many. Of those listed above the most venomous are Taipan Eastern Brown and the rough scaled snake ( it looks a bit like a cross between a brown and a black) The snakes generally keep away from you. Most people get bitten when they go chasing them to kill them. I've had two close calls with Black snakes, been hit on the leg when I stepped out of my 4 WD near a tussock of Matt Rush. Luckily I had jeans on. I quickly moved out of their way. [/QUOTE]
