This big fella was caught whilst trying to eat a cattle dog pup Very nice natured snake.The owner of the dog luckly didn't try to kill it, but called my mate who is a contracted snake catcher.

What kind of snake is it?

Opps sorry, its an Olive python. Australian 3rd largest snake.

That a big snake wrapped around a Pot Plant*.


*I have just found out ADG's are called Pot Plants by other RAAFies,LOL.

Are you calling me an ADGie.....thems fightin words

While discussing RAAF terms, the one I always liked (and thought was absolutely accurate) was our name for the Service Police....

We called them Elephant Trackers.....


....because they couldn't track a bleeding elephant through a snow drift!

We still get called that by some old timers BB. One Fire'ie here in Tindal (my next door neighbour) painted Elephant foot prints on the road

I just can't wait for us dog handlers to split away from the screws once more

Are they shorts or a dress?


PS Bakesey, those photos aren't nearly as good as the ones I sent to you.

Have to agree with you there mate

And its not a dress.....its a sarong....its getting a bit tropical here of late.

Went out shooting today, 38 degrees, saw lots of buff (cows and calfs. One bull)got two pigs one nice boar and a sow. The sow was with a small group of pigs. Didn't see the piglets when we fired. Roger and I had shot at the same pig Another sow must of been close to giving birth as she aborted 5 piglets. All were moving and well formed.
