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}
