You photographed him on his good side! Well done!
The guy in the video is nuts! The snake all but bullwhipped him to make him run the other way. And yet, his brilliance kept him there. What drives them? Is it a macho thing to challenge a poisonous snake? Say what you want, I still think that although Australia is one of the coolest countries, you have very challenging environments.
Confess! You think so too!
Yeah, if he was facing me I might not have got the photo...It's good to see the back end of a snake for sure.
We have some very challenging, brutal aspects to the country indeed. It's unforgiving. Sure, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane rank as some of the most affluent and livable cities in the world, but that's only a small part of the country. The bulk of it is just brutal. It's not just the animals either, the land itself wants to kill you. It's a land of extremes and there's not much out there for the average person to sustain oneself, certainly not without training and knowledge. So yeah, I agree with you.
