What snake is it ?
Not a first time spotted in my garden..( location G.C QLD)

Two guys in the last week have told me they have seen Tiger snakes SWIMMING in the Australind estuary while they have been scooping for crabs (the guys, not the snakes) Both in shallow water, one was near the shore, the other about 500 mtrs out on a shallow sandbar. I occasionally come across a dugite at work when I'm wearing jeans and workboots, but meeting a Tiger snake when you're only wearing boardies and a rashie and you are crotch deep in water

Allways thought a redback or a snake would be first but noooooooo

This was highlighted in the kite surfing forums but should be posted educationally for all. i was in the water the other day as was going to pick up a jellyfish and throw it at my mates like seaweed for fun... ;-( not smart
most of the dangerous creatures are in the water not on land.
Just a reminder to be conscious in the water.
Thanks to knuth... for bring this to attention. reference.www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=66923

well if you survive the box jellyfish then the Irukandji, wrestle off the saltwater crocks then Tbag a blue ring octopus and stone fish .. you can justifyably be "scared of sharks"......in Australia!!!

Post point and summary..:
Dont touch or play with any jellyfish in the water or even washed up on land.
