Legion, do you have one of these in your collection?

Hmm Adders just under the tracks in the beach sand eh! walking into the bush tracks to the beaches of a night could be the one to watch then. Funny hey, we'll paddle out and surf a full moon in black water, but sh!t bricks the whole way down there and back now.

Snakes are only 1/2 your problem; you gotta be insane to go into the water at night. You got jellyfish, stonefish, sharks, blue ringed octopus. Do you guys have nets set up around where you go in the water?

Here's a guy on another forum I go to. He's from Melbourne and gets called out ot alot of snake rescues. He knows his Oz elapids for sure. Don't know if this link will work.

Hot March

I only done it twice ,paddled out one day came in the next, nnnn no nets down south here the great white is protected.

You were in the Armed Forces right? Probably had you do crazier sh#t than that. Sharks are terrifying to me; nothing but perfectly created killing machines. Eat, swim and make baby sharks. I love the ocean though from when I lived in California till I was 8; but those sharks are bad news.
