Asps - very dangerous

So yesterday I decided to ride to Kew via the Yarra trail. A little ambitious for me but it was worth a shot. It turned out to be 27 kms - one way...I found a shorter way home thank fuck (21 kms). Of course today is 10 degrees cooler without a gusty northerly to ride into to. And there were the usual obstacles on the path - mums with prams, people riding on the wrong side of the path and not looking, a large gaggle of school girls and one of these charming fellows:
Now I love snakes as much as the next person(except maybe Dodd and Steve Irwin) but I like them in fish tank enclosures and preferably in a torpor. I don't like seeing them on my bike path pissed off after being run over (apparently) by a schoolgirl. Anyway we all backed up and one of the girls herded the snake into the grass (right near an oblivious fisherman) and we all continued on. About 5kms later I saw a sign warning me about snakes.
Overall it was a good ride, it took me through Collingwood farm (anyone go there with school?), past Dight falls and Fairfield boathouse and a scenic if somewhat lost tour of Kew while trying to find Auburn road.

Comments:
Oh no Bag, not the boathouse!
 
I was in a rented rowboat there a couple of years ago and a snake went across the yarra right in front of me,shit myself,never seen that before.
 
Is that snake called Pliskin?
