We see many snakes on our property, mainly red bellied blacks but a few browns too, blacks are easy to spot and get out of your way very quickly.. just move away and so will they. Browns too, at least in my experience, unless cornered move off, more concerned about my animals than me. I always wear protective gear on my lower limbs in warm weather(wellies,thick socks, heavy boots and thick trousers........not all at once!!). worst month was 15 red bellies and two browns, that was a few years ago and to put it in context we only saw two blackies last season. See many redbacks in the shed, quite proud of that tho.........they don't like dirty places!!! and again very placid, just don't poke and handle them.
To anyone contemplating a visit and I know this thread is a little tongue in cheek, don't hesitate, I came to this country 47 years ago and still wonder at the diversity and beauty of this land. I live on the Fleurieu Peninsular in South Australia(Google it!!) it is a superb place to live. Chris at High Level(great bloke) Googled it when I was discussing an order with him and in his beautiful Geordie accent said "it's just like England" which it is in Winter, except for the trees but the coast and the water are something special. So come and have look...............Oh and keep your eyes on your feet
