DESCRIPTION:An opportunity to closely observe wild caught venomous snake
 s of our region to further understand their behaviors to help you to sta
 y safe in their presence when out bushwalking. This unique activity is o
 ffered by members of Queanbeyan Wildcare who are very experienced snake 
 handlers. It will be held at the Burra Community Hall, 1 Lagoon Road Bur
 ra. It is a very special and limited event. Under supervision and a cont
 rolled environment you will be in close proximity to Eastern Brown, Tige
 r and Red Bellied snakes. All the snakes are wild caught and are used fo
 r three days of training for new handlers with Queanbeyan Wildcare who v
 ery generously offer a sole session for members of the CBC with a bushwa
 lking context. Wayne Alford will lead the session and he has many years 
 of experience in handling venomous snakes. This event is especially reco
 mmended for anyone who is anxious or scared of snakes. You will see just
  how wild snakes do react when close to humans and have many myths and l
 egends dispelled. Knowledge and experience gained from this event will e
 nhance your time in the bush. We will also practice Pressure Immobilizat
 ion Technique First Aid. Wildcare has strict conditions for attending al
 l their sessions. To be able to participate at this event you must: a. w
 ear loose fitting, long pants/trousers. Tight fitting jeans or leggings 
 are not acceptable. Wear gaiters if you have them b. wear shoes or boots
  that have a solid upper. Not a mesh style such as found in runners/trai
 l runners c. not use your phone to take pictures when the snakes are out
 . Your complete attention must be on the snake. I will take photos for e
 veryone to share. d. have your snake bandage in your pocket. Bandages wi
 ll be available for sale from the Wildcare crew. If you have any questio
