No Leeches, Just a Deadly Snake

Okay, I take that back. It's apparently 'not generally fatal'. Which seems to me the same as 'sometimes fatal'...

Let's return to the beginning of the story. After the leech walk, we were inclined to not go on any walks for a while. But then during the next week was a public holiday, and it was such a nice day that we didn't want to waste it sitting around the house. Grandma and Granddad (Grandad? both of those look weird) told us they were going for a walk in the Royal National Park, about 45 minutes north of where we live. After assurances of rocky terrain that was highly unsuitable for leeches, we decided to go along. At the beginning of the walk was this sign:




In case you can't see, the pictures are various ways to get horribly injured, such as falling off a cliff or being swept away by large unexpected waves. It never mentioned anything about sometimes-fatal snake bites.

The walk was actually very nice, with great views and interesting rocky terrain.

I know how to make a collage! And also, what beautiful views.

 But then, right in the middle of our path... 

Ahhh! 

It really wasn't bad at all, unless you're deathly afraid of snakes. We watched it for a second and then it crawled away. We even let BB out of the backpack to walk by himself not long after that (see below). 

 We also saw this giant marshmallow.*

*It's not actually a marshmallow. It's a rock. 

And also, no leeches!
