"LOOK WHAT I'VE GOT MUM"Most mothers dread their kids bringing home a dead mouse.
But in Cooktown when Ben and Richard found a taipan somewhat over 6 feet long in their toy box, Ben bopped it one with his lightsabre as it was a bit close to Richard, then showed Mum.
Whereupon Mum explained to them that it is against the law to kill any kind of snake even if it is in your toy box. The sanity of Australian laws made in the city are sometimes a bit hard for bush kids to understand or is it the law makers who don't understand the bush?
For the uninformed readers.
A taipan is a very poisonous snake
A lightsabre is a weapon used in Star Wars that looks like a florescent tube and is used like a sword, Richard can be seen holding Ben's lightsabre.
Yes they play with crocodiles as well.
