Met a lady from Waratah Park in Terrey HIlls tonight. They have a big problem with venemous snakes. This lady was recently bitten on the boot by a tiger snake whilst at work. They have been given permission from NPWS to clear their public areas of snakes. Mainly death adders, tigers and red bellies.
NPWS says that it has to be done by herp societies.
Anyway, they would like to know if people are interested in helping them to collect and remove these snakes from their park. They anticipate more than a hundred snakes needing to be relocated.
Obviously, you will need to know how to catch them and have a bag and something else to put them in. Maybe more than one even. Liability issues etc I am not sure of. But i'd bet you are on your own.
Someone by the name of Bredan Nally (or similar) from NPWS will be there on the day to supervise and they have also provided a list of people not allowed to attend. (Herpers they don't trust)
PM for details.
