I think this is why they say blah-blah snake is the most
poisonous (maybe sea-snake?) but the King Brown Snake is
the most dangerous. The King Brown can be relatively
aggressive (and thus "dangerous") I've heard it said.
Nearly stood on a narky Red-bellied Black snake once. I jumped
about 6' backwards and told my mates further behind me
that "I'm fine" when asked. Apparently it came out as if
a drummer was playing "Black Dog" on my chest.
Still, we've got a few Funnelwebs in the back yard, but they stay
outside and don't bother anyone - they certainly don't "hunt" us or
the dogs, so we just leave well-enough alone (could spray, but
it'd probably just drive them to the "safety" of the house).
Andy (of England), you'll be right. We'll protect you (or get
you to try the water or walk the track first, anyway <vbg>).
Olympus content: Today I get some photos developed from my "new"
rangefinder Olympus 35RC (which I get a kick out of because it was
released the year I was born, 1970). It will be interesting to see the
unfocussed shots, the shots with a finger in front of them, and
the ones where I've cut something off. I do like using it though.
Cheers

thread)
