After watching the video today of the eastern diamondback I was thinking about our Australian snakes and how they are so awesome and deadly at the same time. I also noticed there doesn't seem to be any videos of one of the great Aussie characters, Rob Bredl aka The Barefoot Bushman. My parents know him quite well and he's a top bloke, though slightly insane as the vid shows. So here's a mix of both. Eastern brown snakes - second deadliest snake in the world - are very common round here. This is a snake species even Steve Irwin didn't like to stir up too much. And having been struck at myself a few times by brownies that could've just slithered off in the opposite direction, the way they often think the best escape plan is through you, well...it really tightens that nutsack for a few seconds.
