We have had brown, king brown, black, red-bellied black and copper heads at various spots on our place over the years. One king brown was accidentally mowed over with the ride on mower...he was not a very happy chap I can tell you.
On a lighter note, a friend of mine from Adelaide rang me last summer for some advice.....he had a 'really big' snake in his back yard and wanted to know which end to hit with the shovel - the head or the tail. So I suggested that if he was sunbaking and someone kicked him up the bum would he:
a) fall down dead or
b) get really cranky
and suggested that he just left it alone!
