[QUOTE="RottenRon, post: 93162, member: 174"] They occur in the Northern Territory as well. About 20 years ago I was working at a powerhouse on an Aboriginal community called Ramangining, East of Darwin and not too far from the coast. My boss and I were cleaning up some dried leaves etc. and as he bent over to pick up a small pipe of leaves with his hands, he spotted the death adder slap bang in the middle of the pile :o . It was about 20" long, and looked a hell of a lot like the dried leaves it was curled up on. We picked it up carefully with a plastic garden rake and took it into the scrub, then came back and continued our cleanup. Needless to say, we were a little distracted after that. [/QUOTE]
