Of course it’s winter here in Perth and so I wasn’t planning to go swimming in the ocean anyway.

Yikes…
If my wife were to see this, she’d nix our dream to one day visit the land down under…
It’s alright Rick. If you’re wife wants to swim while you’re visiting Perth, we’ve got a backyard pool. 🙂
Do the snakes come to the beaches?
Hi Susan. It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of such a thing so it’s not really a problem thankfully. 😉
aaaaack! almost instantly??? whoa! aaaaack!
You have to be unlucky to be bitten by a sea-snake. Their teeth face inwardly and the circumferance of their mout is so small – you would have to be bitten on the end of your finger, toes, nose or ear to be poisoned by them.
Its the Sharks at Cottesloe that are the worry…
