And they mean poisonous ones?
Which snakes are poisonous in South Australia?
ALL of them!!!
There are no harmless snakes in this State. Pythons and non-venomous species are in the tropics, up north. Every species in this State are lethal. Hence the signs.

I thought so.
It would be easy to clear the scrub, cover it in concrete...but we tend to live with our critters. Kids are aware that they must stay away, and if they see a snake to adopt the snake safety response. Stand still, be quiet, and wait for it to move away.

Lots of snakes where I lived in Queensland. But, there weren't people getting killed by them like I saw in other places around the world.
Live and let live...snakes don't want to hurt humans. Just let them slide on by.
I'm sure this pic could only be taken in Australia

They have similar signs now in the Okanagan here, but it's Rattler specific. Although not usually fatal, you will nonetheless want to avoid getting bit by a Rattle Snake!

I lived in a heavily wooded area for a couple of years as a kid. I saw a garter snake, never a rattler even though I went searching all over the place for beer cans which i collected.
I hear while the snakes are poisonous, unlike Africa, in AUS they are not aggressive. Like you say leave them lone and they will leave you alone,. But of course if you step on one by accident or reach under a rock you are going to be sorry. :sad:

Tiger snakes can be quite aggressive here. Especially when hot. Sometimes putting distance between them is safer than stop and wait.
Now I kinda wish I have a pet snake. ac_cool Though I bet my quails, dove and finches would hate me for it, lol.

They are generally shy and placid unless agitated, although as Freud says, tiger snakes can be cantankerous and wise heads make some distance if they can. Trouble is kids don't know the difference, so still best to stand and wait. Snakes have no need to attack humans, as they cannot eat us (other than pythons). They only bite in self defence.
As Wazzer states, putting your hands in places snakes like is dumb. If you HAVE to look under a rock, use a LOOOOONG stick. Wear boots in the bush, and carry a first aid kit.
Canadian insects are all pretty chill. We have Black Widow spiders around, but they're pretty rare to see, and even rarer to interact with.
All the other insects are chill. I found this fucker chillin' on my ceiling last night. Don't know how he even got in. Maybe a baby cricket/grasshopper? Not too sure...
I caught him with a glass jar, and ejected him safely outside where he belongs... That's just how Ace operates.

I looked at some pics of tiger snakes and many are hard to indentify so if I met a snake in AUS i wouldn't know whether to be still or run.
I got 99 problems living in the US, but at least tiger snakes isn't one of them. :laugh:
Tiger snakes have more pronounced bands and are larger.

Are they large snakes?
Can be quite long but often on the skinnier side, especially Eastern Browns. 6 foot long is not uncommon.
Tigers look meaner and more malevolent, but are easily distinguished once you've seen them. The bands are quite noticeable compared to the more evenly marked varieties.
If it seems to be ignoring you, just stand and wait.
It its coming in your direction, retreat.

You should be armed and prepared when venturing into bear country, like me!
I'll back the bears.
I had bear once. It was nice from recollection. I believe it was spaghetti bear bolognese.
Was this whilst you were driving the train to a fishing hole where the temperature never drops below 40C, whilst pretending to be a female?
You've got a great imagination. Why you spend your time on message boards trying to weasel fapping material from women, I'll never understand.
You seem to have a poor memory.
That's YOUR fevered delusions I'm quoting, not mine.
What you quote are your disingenuously modified versions of things I have said in the past, and combined into a ridiculous narrative to argue that I have never eaten minced black bear meat in a pasta and tomato sauce dish.

What an unusual name for a company.
Not at all.
The name is based on the ability of the emu to run on all terrain while maintaining its head perfectly level...a characteristic it shares with the ostrich and cassowary. It takes the literal name from an old Aussie favourite bush song.
"He can't fly but I'm telling you...he can run the pants off a kangaroo"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZLx4Os8TBs
So the makers compare the ability of the emu to the ability of your 4x4 when negotiating rough surfaces. Apparently they're extremely good.
And lots of $$$$$.
Most 4x4's here lift their suspension with Old Man Emu.
Okay, I understand the emu part, but what about oldman?
Just poetic licence..."old man emu can run the pants off a kangaroo..."
(he can't really...a roo would leave a 'mu choking in its dust...)

I see.
Interesting Brick, I didnt know that on the origin. You are right that they are good, on the Jeep forum I get on they are highly recommended. For cheaper but good, its Zone, more expensive is Currie and Savvy. OME is right above midgrade, but best for the cost. The whole kit was $1500. Came with JKS front and rear track bars, JKS front (quick disconnect) and rear sway bar links, and bumpstops.
Er....cool...that's great...JKS and bumpstops huh.... ac_dunno

Because of lifting the vehicle, I need to recenter the axles, so I need adjustable track bars, and JKS was the brand that came in the kit. I wanted to go Metalcloak brand, but stuck with the kit. Also thats the brand of front and rear sway bar links I got. The fronts are quick disconnect so I get flexy! And do things like this...

Just goes to show, dont take each day for granted. Sometimes I have a hard time telling myself this as well, with such a busy lifestyle and all. So when you wonder about doing something, or putting it off, or you have a rare chance to do something, be a Yes Man and do it :smiley_thumbs_up_yellow_ani:
I have never been married, so I can't imagine being a widower, let alone at such a young age.

It's breeding season.
Corellas flock everywhere. The noise is shattering!
But they will be gone in a week or so.

You wish they were on your street.
Happily, we live adjacent to open bushland which is where they flock...rather than in the street and nearby houses.
They don't hang around long, and the main irritation is their incredibly loud shrieking.

That's a lot of miles. You must have LOTS of girlfriends!!!
:roll:
I was married up until 6 years ago, to the girl I met when I was 16, became widowed, was single for a year, met a girl 14 years younger than me that didnt drive, then she moved further away, still with her but its a half hour drive, been with her almost 5 years. On top of that, my job is an hour away too, but passes her house lol. I drive roughly 35,000 miles a year.
Make sure your next girlfriend drives.
Assuming she's now old enough to drive ac_biggrin

Look like Corellas to me. Although they are very similar birds and both cockatoos, the sulphur crest distinguishes one from the other. The Corella has a red crest which is much smaller than the sulphur crest.
When the sulphur crest is retracted they are almost identical to the untrained eye.
(I've just taken a closer look at the video. It's not good resolution but from the birds close to the photographer perched on the street light they are very clearly Corellas)

They sort of mix though....more in mini groups of their own colour within larger groups of everything.
Any of them would make a good pet.

Going to church to meet a woman. I don't know. That is just too weird.
I have more chance of finding a woman than finding a church I like too lol. Its why I dont go, most hypocrites, and boring.
Black church has the spirit, but I dont know, we all know what happened last time a white dude walked into black church lol.

What is wrong with meeting someone in a church or synagogue? It wll be somebody who shares your values.
