I read that they were extinct in Adelaide and suburbs since the 50's I think? recently in the Advertiser - I have never seen a death adder in the wild - they are pretty similiar to the ones you get in some outback deserts still tho i guess - I thought they were very shy snakes generally, from memory?
If I ever want to be sure snakes arent around in the bush somewhere I just makes lots of noise - jump up and down ect. it must be quite a sight to see!!! let them know you are there - they dont want to waste venom on us i would suspect? hope?
