Yes, they told me about a family garden party they had one time where
they had placed a baby buggy under a tree so the baby would be out
of the direct sun, and when they went to get it later, there was
a fairly large and VERY poisonous snake sleeping happily beside
the baby..

I think Australia is known for a huge number of poisonous snakes
and spiders and such.

Here about the only thing I have to watch for are rattlesnakes,
and they tend to warn you ahead of time..   B)

I suppose there are some Copperheads around as well but I don't
know anyone who's seen one in this area.
