Description

This is the dam on the farm where we stay in Quamby, Tasmania. There were a couple of international tourists staying there with us a few weeks ago. They had been told by the owners that there were platypus living in the dam and to go and have a look! (this is true). As we walked down there to see if we could see any, a huge and very deadly Tiger snake appeared on the jetty. The tourists freaked (all their fears about Australia had just come true!!). The snake took one look at them and flung itself in the water to swim to safety! No pics of the snake as I didn't have a camera at the time, but in hindsight it was very funny! Photo taken approximately one hour before the event!
