| Rick,
You could try contacting local police stations. I live in Gladstone in central qld, and a friend of mine had a snake in her house. Man she went off. I thought her house was on fire. Anyway, I called the police station and they had the number of someone who could help us out.
The snake turned out to be a keelback. Cool critter. For those that don't know, they eat cane toads.
HTH
