A 27-year-old surfer in New South Wales, Australia had finished surfing at The Farm, and was up in the car park when he was bitten on the right leg by a red-bellied black snake, according to a story in the Illawarra Mercury.
A witness said the man’s surfboard was on the ground and, when he went to pick it up, the snake emerged from beneath it and bit him. . . . Ambulance officers applied a tourniquet to the man’s leg and took him to Wollongong Hospital.
Sharks and snakes? Damn, Australian surfers will put up with almost anything.
