[QUOTE="MikeB05, post: 357829, member: 7270"] I have been too bloody close (one metre) to a Coastal Taipan at Deep Creek Gympie - also known as "Taipan Alley"'. My heart rate maxed out !! Taipans also have the longest fangs (13mm ave) to all other Australian Snakes (4mm ave). I thinks Taipans are "THE" most venemous snakes in Australia ands also pretty aggresive. We have ONE legal fossicking area between Brisbane.... north up the coast to Clermont (Central QLD) ...and that is Gympie... the fossicking area in Gympie is also home to the coastal Taipan. Makes for a 'be alert day' when you dig at Deep Creek Gympie [/QUOTE]
