RE: Botanic Gardens - Flowers and (deadly)Critters
I hope you didn't pass it too closely! D: Sometimes they'll slither away quietly before you even see them if you make enough noise on your approach but yeh generally you probably want to give them a wide berth XD
Was the temperature all right? It looks like it might have been hot but hard to tell when the ground is red XD
We were too close when we passed the thing. Only the width of the footpath. It was probably 25C/77F. It seemed pretty relaxed up on the rock, but the more I think about it now (and after reading more on the internet) we were sooooooo dumb not to just back away.
My father in law wants to take us bush walking over the we weekend. There is a spot near here where he says we will see echidnas and bettongs and of course kangaroos. But now I just keep thinking... there are gonna be snakes too!
That's far enough in an emergency if you absolutely have to pass the thing but you definitely wanted to be much further away for a casual encounter XD
Go bush walking, it'llbe great, just make sure you have a heavy footfall as most of them should quietly slither away from you as you're approaching, and try not to step anywhere you can't see the ground clearly XD
Alternately visit in winter next time and do all of the bushwalking when the snakes are sleeping XD
🤣😂 winter.... I like the sounds of this! 😁
