Mate, ignore Bretts bull s**t about drop bears. Its just a local joke. But you MUST watch out for the Hoop Snakes. They will bite their own tail to make a hoop and roll down a hill to chase you. They can be very cagey and spend a lot of time just sunning them selves near the top of the local hills waiting for victims to walk past. Bit cane be deadly.

Got chased by a Rocky Mountain hoop snake once. Similar to an Aussie hoop snake but these ones don't eat vegemite

Hoop snakes...pffffffft, we've got Brownies (Brown snakes) that will chase you from Darwin to Melbourne... and back again..and theyre dangged venomous

True story. No this really is.

Family farm, we come across a brown snake near house, whip out the shotgun and it gets both barrels.

At which I time I speak up as I am jumping up on the back of the ute a god damned taipan is heading straight for us..

Never seen a shotgun reloaded so quickly!

Only in Australia can you be dealing with one of he most deadly snakes in the world and have a deadlier one intervene!

[Oldbloke]

Licence, Nah, but the safety bloke will need to train and assess you.

You must be one of the few.... all the commercial crap is .....pisswarmchungo.

the big names are all swill, high gravity brewed donkey do....the few small boutique brands occasionally create a masterfully fragrant and drink worthy beer, then when they get the work out they need to out source or otherwise commercialise and destroy it...

I'm tilting a Hoegaarden as I type.... one of my faves. German, Belgian, Austrian etc producers are required to label the ingredients; thats a big plus, apart from the taste, over Aussie beer.

Jesse there is a shooting range near Alice with great facilities. I small sure if you go along there you will be made most welcome and get some good advice on how to best enjoy the local shooting/hunting opportunities. Quite a big expat US community live there too.
