On a more pleasant note, here is a Lorikeet in a tree just off the deck. There are noisy crowds of them everywhere here.

Another Snake!
Yesterday Sacha went to the beach with some friends she has met here and they saw a Brown Snake, one of the most poisonous in the world. They moved away from the area where they saw it and then a man came and killed it with a long stick. Apparently, most people who get snake bite receive it while trying to kill the snake. I think the best advice is to run and don't stop until you are home. It was over a yard long and still quite frightening when we saw it in the evening. I have heard that they are protected and that you shouldn't kill them but I suppose the guy thought that since it was at the beach where there were children playing it was better to get rid of it.

while alive the snake might be fairly frightening I hear they're great BBQ'd :-)
I have never met a brown snake. Don't want to.
The Lorikeets are very noisy aren't they?? but one forgives the noise for the sight of their rainbow plumage!
*yikes* Snakes are just more than I could bear . . . I like the idea of getting out of Dodge best *s*
