[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 272524, member: 6786"] Had a Tiger Snake swimming ~1m in front of me in the Ovens River 10 years back, when inner tubing in board shorts - very frightening. To move or not to move? Back paddled as fast as I could and couldn't get past until my ex brother in law sconned it with a rock (he is a great throw). It swam to the bank and disappeared. I also had two browns at my place (Melbourne outer suburbs) last Summer. Accidentally ran over one with the car last summer in my driveway (had to accelerate heavily), but will get some gaiters (per the advice above) in case I accidentally hit the other with a shovel this coming summer :) Kids, dogs and snakes don't mix well!
