00:00Living North Cairns at Hartley's Creek
00:15On the ocean side of the great dividing range
00:23I would explore the creek right up in two
00:28The mountain, it flowed down
00:34Cool, crystal clear water flowing down
00:41With pools to swim and flanked on both sides
00:47By different sized stone boulders
00:51I would hike to the waterfall at the top of the mountain
00:55After a swim I would rock high back down
01:03Jumping from rock to rock and ledge to ledge
01:09This day I was doing just that
01:16When a feeling of dread came over me
01:19I stopped and slowly looked over the boulder and saw
01:27That a six foot tapping snake was sunbaking right
01:33Where I would have next step if it bit me
01:39I would never make it home alive
01:45Rock hopping down Hartley's Creek
01:50You gotta watch your step
01:53Taipan snakes live there and they are no house pit
01:58Big and poisonous with a venomous bite
02:04You have to avoid them
02:08With all your might
02:12I left the big snake napping and did not disturb
02:26I thanked my lucky stars for the six cents warning
02:32From that day forward
02:35From that day forward I take notice of that good feeling
02:38It saved me from a taipan bite
02:42Which would have left me reeling
02:45Rock hopping down Hartley's Creek
02:49You gotta watch your step
02:52Taipan snakes live there and they are no house pit
02:57Big and poisonous with a venomous bite
03:02You have to avoid them
03:07With all your might
03:13Is there any damage in pits?
