FTER a year of flood-induced hiatus, Shepparton's local waterways are once again teeming with life and activity. Steve Threlfall, owner of Trelly's Outdoor Shepparton, a hub for fishing and hunting enthusiasts, is thrilled to see the community back outdoors. "It's a sight for sore eyes, seeing the locals back fishing after such a long break," he says. The promise of better fishing comes hand-in-hand with the much-anticipated cod opening on December 1.

BE VIGILANT ABOUT SNAKE SAFETY A
S temperatures rise, our cold-blooded reptile friends are becoming more active and a lot more visible. Snakes are typically found in cool, dark, protected areas such as under buildings and near sheds, around rubble and stored materials, in electrical switch boxes and long grass. It's also not uncommon for snakes to enter unattended open vehicles. About 3,000 people are bitten by snakes every year, with about 300 of them receiving antivenom and one or two bites, on average, proving fatal. If untreated immediately, a person can die within 30 minutes depending on the amount of venom injected and the species of snake.
Bite victims must be kept calm and still and have their whole injured limb pressure bandaged. Please remember: • If you see a snake, keep calm and move yourself and anyone with you (including pets) away from the area • Don't attempt to capture or harm snakes. Instead call DELWP on 136 186 for further advice, or call a licensed snake catcher • Undertake first aid training and ensure your first aid kit contains several compression bandages, and if someone is bitten, call 000 immediately. • Keep a snake specific safety kit on hand if possible
OLDEST ENEMY... Considered the world's second-most venomous land snake after the inland taipan, the eastern brown snake it is responsible for about 60 percent of snake-bite deaths in Australia. Photo: Supplied
