I can’t imagine the quantity of breakfast alcohol I would need to consume each day to live in proximity to the “death adder”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We try not to give the real figures, it scares away the tourists.

Ken Gargett Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 just back from a walk on the beach. talking to a guy fishing on the beach. drops a small mullet out past the waves with his drone. caught a big bronze whaler last week apparently. fifty yeards down the beach, 20-30 surfers heading out. an area where attacks are far from unknown. may as well ring a dinner bell.
