Where are you David, I may have to come for a visit. Early fall sounds
heavenly. Why no red bellied snakes? They aren't poisonous? Just bad
tempered?

Not early fall, early summer. East coast Australia, north of Newcastle.
Red-bellied black snakes are quite deadly but not bad tempered. We also have
eastern brown snakes: deadly, fast and bad tempered. It's a nice place but
you must have respect for the locals.

Aha - that explains all - there is a red bellied snake in the US, not
poisonous and "one of the good guys".


Have a great summer!
