  1. Flashback to mid-2000s. My soulmate and I were at a National park in Queensland. We're heading to a toilet block and see a man with his two kids, probably about four years old I guess. He's got a stick and is poking it at something. As we get closer we see he's poking the stick at a snake. Suddenly, the snake (an Eastern brown) lunges toward him. He immediately turns and runs, leaving his two screaming kids in the path of the snake. I make the decision to stand between the kids and the snake. Meanwhile, my soulmate absolutely destroys this bloke with choice words along the lines of how much of an idiot he is and how he just left his two kids to potentially die. I just stood there until the snake dropped from its attack stance and slithered off into the bush. Those two kids were terrified, and I reckon if not for us being there at the time, one of them may have been bitten, a long way from medical treatment.

  2. My father died from a Brown snake bite. He had stepped out of his 4WD and a brown was hiding under a small saltbush shrub right near where he stepped. It hit him twice in a split second. He said he barely felt the bite. Oh, it wasn't the snake that really killed him. It was the incompetence of the hospital he attended that caused him to suffer for 2 weeks before organ failure killed him. Long story for another time.

  3. Bwahahaha! Yeah, Eastern Browns are cranky buggers if you harass them. Whenever I see one, I just stop, and watch where it goes. I've seen some absolute idiots hassling Browns.
