[QUOTE="Bush, post: 592193, member: 6815"] A couple of little snake stories from the Capricorn Coast back in the early 1980`s. Driving with a mate from the Emu Park Hotel along the road towards Yeppoon late one night. Nearing the Causeway Crossing we saw a Huge Python across the road. It`s head was the size of a round mouth shovel just short of the road shoulder and it`s tail was still into the scrub on the other side of the two lane road. Swerving the vehicle off the road into the shoulder ditch we managed to pass it without hitting it. Then a handbrake U-turn to go back and check it out and it was gone. `I` could not believe how quick it had removed it`s self. My guess it was 20ft / 6 meters long. On a property in the same vicinity a member of the family was walking along tracks amongst tall guinea grass. A snake big snake python lunged out and locked onto his loose long trousers. Pulling away the snake let go tearing a whole in his pants. He said lucky he was not wearing jeans. So anyone doubting that a missing person was not in fowl play from a large snake. `i` would say you were wrong. Have another couple of tales to tell but some other time. Cheers. :beer: [/QUOTE]
