Another day, another dugite in the sand groper state

This sign appealed to me.

The dugite is a particularly venomous species of snake, native to Western Australia. The bite from a dugite can be lethal.

'Sand Groper' is the nickname given to Western Australians, because there is so much sand in the State.

I would definitely steer clear.

[Joan Robillard]

Me too!

[bkb in the city]

I trust you never saw any

[Suzanne]

Steering clear the operative words as there are still a few slugglish ones on the roads.

We did see a couple sunning themselves. A bit sluggish at this time of the year.

A bit scary to run into!

[Diana]

Lovely scene you captured here, I would hate to see the snake though.

[Jacqueline]

Great that they put up a sign!

[Susan Wakely]

Great sign. Is 000 an indication that your number is up if bitten?

[Suzanne]

Well it could be! But, really, triple 000 is the emergency number here in Oz.

Probably tired of having to rescue people!

As long as you're careful, the snakes are around but not too much of a problem.

Just need to watch where you put your feet.

Such an inviting place to walk, but better not to go there

[Kartia]

Oh the great Australian wildlife! We came across a death adder on a beach a couple of years ago. Great shot, I love the juxaposition of the beauty and hidden danger!

[Call me Joe]

Stunning view but the sign’s scary ❤️💕❤️

[Suzanne]

OK on beach but in the vegetation not so inviting. @haskar

[Suzanne]

Yes! Always have to be on alert, especially when the snakes a re likely to be a bit sluggish. I've never seen a death adder! @kartia

[Suzanne]

The sign was truly a scene stealer! @joemuli
