Something I was taught years ago and in these times of amateur astronomers heading bush for darker skies perhaps handy. Please take this only as general unqualified information but definitely learn first aid in relation as to what to do with a snake bite. Brown Snakes, short fangs, incredibly deadly venom that even a scratch maybe enough to kill you - seems you may not even see or feel a small scratch/bite initially. Always, always err on the side of caution and seek urgent medical attention / assessment. Tiger snakes - much longer fangs, very painful. Deadly venom, apparently in most cases you will certainly know and see if bitten by a Tiger snake, but again always, always err on the side of caution seek medical attention / assessment.
