We have something of a superfluity of tiger snakes and copperheads up here. We had a little dog killed by one a few years ago, which was pretty distressing, and another bitten on two separate occasions. ($3000 a pop in vet bills, and weeks of recovery.) Since then, I've fenced off about an acre around the house with snakeproof wire and made rubber seals to go around all the gates. Even so, I had a snake that found its way under such a seal last summer and tried to bite me through my boot. No more Mr Nice Guy: I did him in with a shovel...

Did you cook and eat the snake after you've got'em with a shovel, should never waste a good piece of snake meat on the BBQ.

Have you ever smelt a snake? Like putrifying mice. Not even my dogs will eat them, even though they're happy to kill them. I'll leave that challenge to you. :p

Aboriginal have been eating all kinds of snakes for thousands of years, long before the British colonisation settle in Australia

I sort of have to watch out for tiger snakes here, but so long as I make a bit of noise from time to time it's not a problem. My closest neighbour is nearly 2km away, so no need to dress up... :p

Aaahh!,:nailbiting: I was just about to ask that. Otherwise I'm very jealous.
We visited Tasmania in 2008 and I remember walking through a forest and watching a tiger snake work it's way past a mob of wallabies. They sat there and hammered the earth with a foot as warning, not sure whether it was for the mob or the snake.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Been looking for an aftershave to match with the marzipan scent of P.160 and @astinus4 was kind enough to PIF Cella which doesn't smell anything like marzipan but figured if it pairs with Cella almond soap must pair with P.160. I really enjoy the scent because it reminds me of my old man but I dont think he wore Cella so I wonder what other mainstream aftershaves it smells similar to? (not on trythatsoap)
Anyway if I had to choose a favourite drug store (farmacia) aftershave this would be it. Fresh crisp citrus scent

A beautiful shave. The Sticky may be a mild razor, but it is very efficient, and mowed down my 4 day growth effortlessly.

It really is a lovely scent. A pity it wasn’t an obvious scent match for anything I had (including Cella itself!)

We have red bellied blacks here,hence no Eastern Browns.

You live in the Blue Mountains,you have snakes,just logic
We saw a beautiful Red Bellied Black on Monday,he was minding his own business,so we observed him until he went away.

I’ve had red bellies blacks and browns pass through and a tiger stay for a while. I’m in the mountains as well. On the upside we have great birds and the hiking is good.
