That Brown is the colour of my wonderful winter lawn.... It will pep right back up to glorious Green when the Summer rains come....if they ever come...

[wazkelly]

Same with my lawn at the moment too.

[andrewdosborne]

Same here! The few tufts of green I have are currently being chewed through by a stray guinea pig I seem to have ‘inherited’ lol

Around this time of year I often get the occasional Roo that joins the two more permanent Rabbit freeloaders... I keep it all too short for any snakes to hide from the Kookaburras...

[wazkelly]

Good idea Marcel as snake season has just started.

[Marcel]

And the ones around here are the very nasty deadly kind, so the fewer of them near my home and shed the better...

[wazkelly]

Eastern Browns or Taipans? Surely not both?

[Marcel]

Mostly Browns usually between 3' and 6' in length but sometimes as small as 1'... occasional Black and Carpet varieties both of up to 6'. Have also seen over the years Red bellied Black and Yellow bellied Blacks both at around 4', and Red Nape Browns who max out at 2'.

I haven't personally encountered any Taipans. I'm sure they are around as I've heard stories from the neighbours....

And I have lots of huge Iron bark trees for Kookaburras to laugh in... They love to catch a fresh snake for an evening meal...

[Simon Barden]

We get the occasional slug. They can be quite slippery if you tread on one so you need to be careful!

[Marcel]

And you get snow too Simon.....

I've only seen snow once when I was about 5yo visiting some distant relative.... From memory it was Cold wet mushy stuff... Brrrrrr !!!
