Tiger Snakes are quite aggressive. My aunt's dog was bitten last week by one and didn't survive.
What a beauty! My dad always tells me the story of how he was chased by a tigersnake!
Thanks ausatravel. I'm lucky, I live in what's known as "an ecological transition zone in which many tropical species of plants and animals reach their southern limit, and many temperate species reach their northern limits" according to the Sunshine Coast Council Biodiversity Strategy. There is so much to see here! : )
Thanks Shanna. Your pics are amazing. A bit jealous of all Queensland has to offer regarding wildlife.
Awesome spot.
