These Firefighters man the Innisfail Fire Station about 1500 km north of Brisbane Australia. I figured the minimum height and weight requirement to work here is over 6 ft 2 " and 220 lbs.. These guys put me up for the night fed me and we shared a lot of stories on firefighting. One member of each crew is trained in snake handling as many deadly snakes get into homes and they need to get them out. I showed them the picture of the green tree snake snake I caught with stick earlier that day. They said that's not a tree snake thats a Taipan the deadliest snake in the world and it will chase a person.
Just one bite is enough to kill at least 100 human adults or 250 thousand mice. Depending on several factors a bite if left untreated has the potential to kill someone in under 30 minutes. Its venom is about 50 times more toxic that the king cobra venom. I never trapped any snakes after that.

                   My Journey

    I am a fire captain and cancer survivor.
    ​ I have now cycled around  the earth  by bicycle for cancer charity, but my journey is not over. I followed the rules of Guinness global 0circumnavigation. Same bike, same direction, cross two antipodal points, the equator and cover at least 29,000 km.  My final legs were crossing Australia north to south and east to west across the deserts bringing the total countries crossed to fifteen and a distance of 29,000 km over 10 years. The journey now continues to the most desolate and highest points of the earth.  email:
