[QUOTE="davent, post: 357581, member: 6002"] Very nervous snake the taipan, they do worry me. Up here we dont see many snakes during the day, but at night they seem to be around. King browns, since the cane toads made it over here, ive only seen 2, had to kill one, as it was in my camp, id been walking past it all night it seems. Western browns, and death adders are really the big 3 we come accross occaisionly, but not often.I came into contact with way more dangerous snakes when i lived down south, and on the east coast.there are records of coastal taipans up here, but im yet to meet anyone whos actually come accross one. When i lived in Cairns, I used to work for wild life pards, like rainforestation at kauranda and wildworld in Cairns, i used to drive up to the tablelands to cut bluegum and other eucalypts for the koala colonies, and thats where I had my encounters with taipans, always put the wind up me. Marreeba was one place i found them pretty regularly, and also seen them around the creeks near barron falls, as well as some absolutly huge scrub pythons. Seen quite a few eastern browns around the suburbs near holsworthy when i was in the army, nearly bitten by one at east hills, trying to kill it with a broom! Bugger was in my garage. [/QUOTE]
