Thumbs up Python Road Signs

I was amazed when driving through an area not far from my place to see road signs for Carpet Pythons. I will go back over the next few days to get pics. They are like the koala/ Kangaroo signs with warnings, Carpet Pythons next 8 kms ect. It is an initiative of one of the local Landcare groups. They are apparently also offering local land holders free chainsaw and chemical users courses that are aimed at preserving habitat and awarenss of the local carpet population. Its about time things like this were happening and perhaps other groups should look at doing the same thing.

Back in my ill-gotten youth I've pinched the odd road sign or two, couple of traffic cones, a flashing light, a bar stool from the pub, sunglasses at schoolies, numerous ashtrays and salt&pepper shakers; (oops have i said too much?).... would love a "python crossing" sign

Hmmmm Gillsy.....ever the cynic

Heres a link to the landcare site to let people know the aim of it. Its about time that community groups started to try and educate people.
