It is said.... that Red Belly blacks keep Brown snakes away, judging by the fact that the box ISN"T full of King Browns, that might be true!

We had one in the chook pen for a couple of weeks last year, I think he/she was after the small mice that come to feed on the corn, only seen one brown so far this year, I have been told the red bellies are predators of the browns.

So he found out that he wasn't going to get a refund for his holiday travel/bookings and so made the decision of which was more important. He should come back from his jolly days and find that in the meantime, the NSW Premier has sacked him for not doing his job! But was unable to contact him to inform. However, this is more likely. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sky went grey, then it went black, then it went red. I am shedding tears here. Many places now on fire, are places I visited just over a year ago. I spent a night in Mallacoota. About 3 minues walk from this picture. This is what it would normally look like. https://goo.gl/maps/VazhbpbqHpWFZPtB9.
