Apparently it is the height of mating season and the males are wandering around looking for love. On the August 1st long weekend, because of the high volume of visitors, that is the weekend when most "incidents" occur.
Glen Maxwell, who has a big property on the other side of the road, said he saw three "beauties" last weekend over there, so the statistics appear to be true.
Best defence, according to Glenda the wildlife expert, is to wear closed toed shoes. Most of the bites happen because people literally step right on them. Or try to pick them up - either thinking they are a stick or just being stupid!!!
So keep your eyes open for the next couple of weeks. They may not be warm and fuzzy, but they are endangered.
