There's theory and there's practice. I grew up on a farm and any snake in the yard was disposed of to keep pets and kids safe. We still lost a few pets and other animals to snakebite.
My father was also a timber worker and we just ignored snakes in the bush.
On a bush walking track recently a tiger got between my dog and I; the snake wouldn't move and I couldn't back off as the dog would run towards me but there was a handy stick nearby.
If you keep out of striking range and wear long pants you're fairly safe. I wear long pants in the bush even in hot weather.
