Hope he gets well sooner than that, but now he should know better than to walk through the bush without boots on. You should always watch where you're walking when you're out in the bush. You never know what might be hiding in the grass and spinifex is legend for hiding all sorts of nasty critters, not just snakes. But snakes use it to hide in or take shelter during the day. If you see a snake, leave it alone and don't go near it. If you can't avoid it, back away. Don't go poking at it with a stick and don't go poking into spinifex or under rocks/logs with a stick. You're inviting trouble if you do.
