Ooooooo.... something is brewing!!!- Jeez I hope I get a leave pass for whenever this happens :lol:
Newport lakes is another area near Altona with a large snake population. This is an old Quarrie turned into a nature park with walking tracks and a large lake. There are lots of tigers there. There are some benefits to being married to the local parks ranger.
There was a right up in the Werribee banner(local paper) re snakes out in summer time and they listed Tigers , Browns and from memory either a "white lipped or white tipped". I cant find any whip snakes in my snake book listed in Southern vic. Maybe local seller may know more.I'll ask him next visit.
im pretty sure you can get a permit from the water people to access their land down werribee south and the river runs through it i think it may only cost like $20 . the area near the town behind the swimming pool and next to the river may have heaps too infact all along that section of river looks pretty good. heathdale wetlands might too but its dry at the momentWhip snakes have been sighted down at the Kororoit creek in Ardeer. Tigers as well. There would be 5 km's of area between Ardeer and West Sunshine. Rocky, paddocks etc etc.
Cherry Lake is also a good place. Af ew paddocks around there as well. Cherry Lake has a walking track around it and is widely used by bike rider and walkers. Might be a bit hard.
Cobbledicks ford is a top place for quite a few different herps. Most of Werribee is sitting on private land where I used to go shooting. The farmers kick people off most days now.
Matt S(tockdale) Animal Attraction may know a few large farms near his place like someone mentioned.
i havent actually been there but i saw a thing on tv about the wetlands always having water there so really due to the drought there should be a lot of animals from the area that have moved thereThanks Alex c . I actually have a bird watching permit and access key for the werribee treatment plant and have been there heaps for birds of prey but never looked for snakes,Der. That will now change...................
yeah it seems highly possible because its most likely full of frogs and tigers apparently love themIts an interesting set up down there . Lots of open channels then lake Borrie is a massive lake with narrow roads around surrounded by smaller lakes. Id never really thought of it as a snake area but im sure there are parts of it with good populations. I know an x melb water guy who worked there for 20 years i will ask him later this week if he knows anything about it.
i say the first weekend of oct so long as weather approves. Herpie, it was an all os a sudden thing
