Here is a quick video snippet of everyday life on the island, and one of the local inhabitants we ran across two days ago. We were with a park ranger hiking up a mountain, and there was a small creek in our path we had to jump across, and I went first. Well, as I went to put my foot down, I had to make a quick change of plans because my foot was going to step directly on a death adder's face, and he looked pretty pissed. So, naturally we got out the video camera and messed with it using, and I note, a much longer and proper snake handling stick. (and no mum, I didn't pick it up this time!) We saw it strike a good dozen times, and I now have a much healthier respect for the creatures, because there is a lot of death bundled up and waiting for me there, so I'm keeping a much closer eye on the ground now.
