The grass verge area that needs to be mowed around our properties is 3/4 acre (3000 sq m). If we don't mow, the grass presents a fire hazard to our properties and brings even more snakes onto our properties.

Your priority has to be safety first Joe. I guess either of you don't have a large enough property to have your own yard tractor with a slasher bigger than an average ride on?
Back in the late 90s I assisted my TAFE welding teacher relocate some silos at Quandialla at the grain corps base during summer. We also put these silos up on ground rings which meant we welded and folded up the separate sheets to make the required slope cone of 30 degrees (that's why I was there, I knew how to do that, my teacher didn't (maths USED TO BE my strong suite (I rewrote the maths for an entire module when we were told as students we had to work from samples because the book was wrong and the correct method long forgotten within the system))). We were in a near completed silo and the teacher was grinding a weld, there was a small 6mm round hole in the side near where he was grinding. ONE spark flew out of this hole and started a fire that had a lot of people panicking and grabbing anything at hand to try and get it out before it spread. Oh, the snakes, EVERYWHERE.
So hot and dry!
Even when I moved from Sydney to Young I'd spent a lot of time at my bosses south coast property, just driving going from the greenery of Sydney's southern suburbs to the hot, dry, burnt look of the region heading to Young was a real eye opener.
