Scary Snakes?

Everyone warned about the scary spiders and snakes in Australia... and I am scared... and I am cautious. Believe me. However, we have as yet only seen ONE snake... it was crossing the river and struggling in the current. We were too far away to see much other than its shiny head and its body kind of waving in the water as it tried to get back to land.

Apparently, there have been fewer snakes than usual due to the flooding... and hence some of the people we met predicted a plague of mice. It seems to be true. In the last couple of campsites, we have been able to hear them rustling around the tent at night. One morning, we found these ones (can you see both of them?) huddled under the kayaks for wind shelter.
