Went for a walk down by the Snowy River.  Boondocks-ville big time, passing through to get to Melbourne.  Stepping through the grass i heard a familiar and suspicious sound... and there she was, a lively slithery brown snake taking to escape my boots! I took 2 steps back, about faced and tried a different path to the water.  Ten steps later i see a black shiny pipe on the ground.... OH yeah right??!!#@$%% . I quickly decided that the adventure wasn't worth the risk. It was a sunbaking district for snakes.  You've never seen me move so fast before.  I leaped like a spastic Gazelle to get back to the truck.

Sometimes it's not worth pursuing something if you're in the wrong place to start with!!
