09.01.2022 Snake season is upon us. Beware. Did you know that in Australia there are somewhere between 3000 - 5000 snake bites a year of which around 120 require antivenin. Fortunately, the average is only 2 deaths a year which is 2 deaths too many. Take care when outdoors where snakes might be.... Remember, they aren’t territorial, they don’t like to be disturbed and are solitary creatures. Keep your distance and be safe. . . . . #uccamping #unitingchurchcamping #adekatelodge #norvallodge #norvalhouse #thegrampians #gariwerd #grantvillelodge #merrickslodge #campacacia
