OK To Japan for a book  I feel this pic is mediocre but it has a story, so I'm glad it licensed. This is middle of nowhere in Oz. I stopped because I thought it would illustrate the drought in the area and the farmers' battle. It was hot, I was wearing sandals and a pair of shorts. Being Australia, I am always careful where I tread. But this time, the cattle was getting suspicious of me and started getting up, which I didn't want, so I kept an eye on them. I walked through high grass to the paddock fence. All of a sudden, I felt my right foot lifting up. I knew straight away what was happening and I froze. I looked down and to my horror, I saw a brown snake (venomous) slithering into his hole right under my big toe.   Hi Genevieve, well done on the sale it illustrates the dry conditions...nice one. Now about that brown snake that was too close!, I've come across quite a few while out prospecting in the Victorian Goldfields but i always wear snake gaiters! and long pants and keep a wary eye out for them! We have tiger snakes down here too..  You do realize that you don't have a lot of time if you get bitten, the venom is very fast acting...When i'm out detecting i carry a snake bandage with me just in case, but i hope that i will never have to use it....so Tall grass wear long pants and gaitors or just don't walk in it...I used to see a Queenslander who came down to prospect in Victoria, and he was wearing shorts and thongs...just crazy! not to mention the stinging large inch man ants!..well i heard he survived a snake bite! Take care out there in our Lucky country 😀 Cheers Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not wrong about wearing long trousers and closed shoes. If you're talking about bull ants, been there, done that. Unfortunately. No-one could come close to me for 15mn, with ice or otherwise. And I couldn't fit in my work shoes for a week. Good luck for your prospecting. We visited a few goldfields towns, ghost or alive and we love them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a trip three week there around 1990 and really enjoyed my time in Oz.  But I have to admit, the thought of spending essentially 24 hours in flights each way, makes it much less appealing.  In my youth, I would jump at the chance.

If you were to travel now, you would have 14 days in hotel quarantine to recover ha ha... The problem with visiting Oz for a short period of time is like in the US, distances!! Not easy to visit properly to fully appreciate the country if you have a time limit. Edited February 10, 2021 by gvallee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul,  About nearly all of the press in Australia, is under one form or another, under the influence of Murdoch, so I would say that most of the newspaper industry in Australia is very low grade tabloid. Even the broadsheets who pretend to be better, in my personal opinion, doesn't fare much better. And I say that as someone who has worked with many of these publications in the past. I am in a totally different industry now, but I still remember some of the jobs I was sent to, and it does make me cringe... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
