“How will you catch a taipan?”
“You can tail them or pin them with a snake pinner.”
“How long is the snake pinner?”
“About a metre.”
“It’s fifty feet too bloody short!”
First combine a larrikin sense of humour and a penchant for practical jokes with a healthy disregard for personal safety. Then add a liberal dose of some of the most dangerous reptiles on the planet, together with an eclectic ensemble cast of larger-than-life characters that at times reads like a who’s who of Australian herpetology. The result is a compelling read that hurtles along at a cracking pace.
Neville Burns has spent most of his adult life entertaining audiences around the nation. Those fortunate enough to attend his presentations in person are guaranteed to come away with a better appreciation of our reptilian fauna - together with a broad smile and the distinct impression that they may have just encountered one of the great Aussie storytellers of his generation.
