[QUOTE="rotor, post: 357566, member: 5232"] Had a few encounters myself over the years . . . . . Last was a month ago when me and the mate woke a coastal taipan asleep in the in the middle of a town walking track ........ he got a little bit upset about us approaching and came in our direction at first before turning away! It put the sh#^s right up me - it gave a quick flick that sent leaves flying then came down the side of the track that I was on, got to about 6 feet away then turned and went of into the bush! Was telling another friend about it and he said he'd seen one at the other end of the walking track about a week or so before. The track runs alongside a permanent creek through a preservation area that looks to have been worked, and has a lot of interesting geology to it . . . . . . . . needless to say I keep me eyes and ears pealed in that area now!
