They're supposed to be a bit tetchy aren't they? Most snakes like to disappear but from I've read these will have a go at most things as they've got a highly active feeding response.

Yup so I've heard. I've not come across one thank goodness but I have heard stories of them chasing people.

In Aust/NZ generally when you get fish and chips you're fish fillet will be flake (shark meat). Some of the upper market f'n'c places with have hoki, snapper, dory etc on offer as well but you'll pay a premium for it

They shoot their own musicians/actors

An actor has died after being shot while filming a music video in the Australian city of Brisbane.

The man, in his 20s, suffered a chest wound inside the Brooklyn Standard bar in Eagle Lane in the city centre, Queensland police said.

Several firearms had been discharged during the filming just before 1400 local time (0400 GMT), said Detective Inspector Tom Armitt.

The video was for Sydney-based hip hop group Bliss n Eso.

We have had a cyclone and major weather events up north on the east coast but I don't think anyone expected this to wash up!

This was about 10 km from the coast.
