If you are coming to Australia just be careful if you plan to go into the bush.

One of my old coworkers wrote a great blog post about the history of the hoop snake.

That's so cool: go the Beach Tiger beetle larvae!
As for the hoop snake 1784 eh? I always thought it was an Aussie myth and was surprised when I read Wikki that it was also known in America.  But since the first white settlers came in 1788... I suspect we can't lay claim to be the originators. (unlike the ugh boot)
