Shit! I've been bit

[kevfromcoro]

Just done my first day on the shut....
Its out in the sticks a bit
When i walked trhough the gate .. there was sign.

Many snakes have been seen on this site.
Please be carefull where you walk.

Lovely..............
Driving home with an ozzie bloke...... and he reckons that the site is full of rats and mice
The snakes hang around to eat them.
Mainly red bellied blackes,, Browns,, and the Taipan.. he is a nasty ass thing.
As Tone said.. ya can get a bit paranoid over these things.. but you learn to live with it
but i never saw one...
dont want too.

I supose it's just what you're used to. We grew up in Brissie mostly, in Tenterfield & a bit of a stint back in Canada. (chased by bear). But dad was a bit of a bushy, so we were always out bush, travelling, gold panning, camping etc.

Had a shark brush my leg at Mooroochydore, been stung by a Blue Bottle (recuring pain for over 10 yrs), had a sea snake swim past my face, got bumped by a manta ray off the Great Keppal Islands while boom-netting, been bit by a spider 25yrs ago & the spot (left cheek ) still flairs up. Have snakes & assorted spidies here. Not to mention the various types of biting ants.

But it's not like you encounter all thing dangerous in one week. Most people would be luck to encounter 1 or 2 in their lifetime.

Ok, so I'm propably not the best rep for tourism... that's why I like going to NZ

Why do we do these things... i moved out here a week a go... and there is no accomodation anywhere.
Checked ot the pubs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, nup..
Motels............. no nothing
Caravan parks......no cabins.. no vans..
ok got a tent site.. no power...
luckly i bought a tent in Brisy.. paid $5 for it...
so up she goes.. couldnt sling a cat in it..
went to bed last night. and the total serenity....
some of the best years of my life....
warm.... well hot....
the wildlife... the neigbours....
the snakes.... yuk....
just got a room in the local hotel... that will be ok... its even got power.

but i will miss the week i had in tent....
cant wait till i get back to my hut in the gold coast
and go scooter hunting....

OK, cool. Yeah, always good to get local (internet) knowledge.
Just be very sus of any salt "rust'. Had heaps of problems with that living at Southport. Not great for polished alloys or stainless steal. But can't be helped when you live near the ocean, aye.
