I thought that I'd heard the worst for the poor souls flooded out of their homes in Q'land, but no. The residents of Theodor have a plague of snakes! Considering that most of the Oz snakes are as friendly as a your average drunken footy fan, it bodes ill for those rummaging in the dark corners of a sodden house while looking for the family silver.
When you see the holiday brochures for this island continent surrounded by water which, according to Oz propaganda, is "God's Own Country", there is no mention the nasties that abound outside of the concrete and steel. Reality has come as a bit of shock to hundreds of tourists now marooned in the Sunshine State ...
It's better to travel than arrive ... then again ...
