Snakes alive.

In the process of connecting water pipe to the new alpaca paddock over the road we discovered 2 baby Eastern Brown snakes (the 2nd most poisonous snake in Australia). Luckily they were hibernating, and hence not too interested in us as we had put both hands and faces within inches of them before we realised they were there, safely tucked into the holes of the brick. They may not be quite so docile in spring time.
