DESCRIPTION:This is a terrific opportunity for CBC members to closely ob
 serve wild caught venomous snakes of our region to further understand th
 eir behaviors to help you to stay safe in their presence when out bushwa
 lking. This unique activity is offered by members of Queanbeyan Wildcare
  who are very experienced snake handlers. It will be held at the Burra C
 ommunity Hall, 1 Lagoon Road Burra. Under supervision and a controlled e
 nvironment you will be in close proximity to Eastern Brown, Tiger and Re
 d Bellied snakes. All the snakes are wild caught and are used for three 
 days of training with Queanbeyan Wildcare who very generously offer a so
 le session for members of the CBC with a bushwalking context. Kristian H
 oward will lead the session and he has many years of experience in handl
 ing venomous snakes. This year we will arrive at 11 am and watch the 'Re
 fresher' handlers going through their assessment for an hour. We can the
 n have lunch and be ready for our CBC specific session at 1 pm. This eve
 nt is especially recommended for anyone who is anxious or scared of snak
 es. You will see just how wild snakes do react when close to humans and 
 have many myths and legends dispelled. Knowledge and experience gained f
 rom this event will enhance your time in the bush. We will also practice
  Pressure Immobilization Technique First Aid. Wildcare has strict condit
 ions for attending all their sessions. To be able to participate at this
  event you must: a. wear loose fitting, long pants/trousers. Tight fitti
 ng 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/trail runners c. not use your phone to take pictures wh
 en the snakes are out. Your complete attention must be on the snake. I w
 ill take photos for everyone to share. d. have your snake bandage in you
 r pocket. Bandages will be available for sale from the Wildcare crew. If
  you have any questions please contact me.
