OK, another Australian snake attack in the news...

I would like to point out that if it happened all the time, it wouldn't be news. I did go through this town 10 days ago and it was a fine little place. Been camping here for a month now & haven't seen a snake, but I am taking precautions. When I do mention about how everthing here is deadly, people shake their heads and smile - just be careful & you'll be fine! So here I am, safe & fine! Australian drivers are much more careful and polite, so I find less actual danger here than the US.
