Whats your backyard passion

[threedogs]

As it says, whats your back yard passion, and has it changed over
the years, be it a collection or tying flies or restoring cars or
bikes. My mate has a huge pre 1940 oil can bottles and signs
of every type. I kinda collect some as well but mainly handy oil cans
or anything priced right. Plus I love my brass mortar and pestles.
I must have the largest collection in Aust, lol lol

Building a GQ from the Ground up TWICE in the back yard. Grass dont grow there now!!

Side note... Got my Building Permit Yesterday! New Shed with Hoist before Christmas!!

[AB]

Just built a study desk for the kiddies!

Passion lately in the shed has been finally finishing a half built house that’s been like this for 10 years!!!

Great to see the 'long neck' is there, waiting for their hydration!!!

Looks great Andy.

I don't really have a backyard passion. If I ever get a new shed to park the Patrol in, that will be my new passion. Living in the shed. It would be nice to have a section of it decked out with a wood fire, couches and T.v. And a fridge of course. Slowly but surely it will happen.

Ummm you already have an amazing setup like that Marko, ground level?... I'd do many unfavourable things for anything remotely like that!

Working on landscaping my backyard, about 1000m2 and slowly making it useable space with a superb lawn. I bought my house nearly 2 years ago and absolutely enjoy all the time I have spent working on it to make it "my own'

Where? Not the garage that I can't fit my Patrol unless I remove the roof rack? Nah mate. Im talking a mans shed! Big enough for the Patrol, workspace, chill out space and some where to park my dream car.

Yeah mate if I had a shed like that I'd be 6 months in there with the wood fire and 6 in the house over summer.

I'm very jealous poo bear if I had a man shed and some where 2 park the poo troll that wasn't gravel and had some room 2 work around it it might actually be on the road by now... well maybe not but I'm sure 2 the point where it would be driveable on the road :(

Actually getting the shed and contents in order has kept me busy for months. Rats invaded it last year. I would go in there to get something and try not to dry wretch at the stench.

After a long regime of poisoning I have reclaimed my realm. I have been slowly building cabinets out of old pallets and fitted caster wheel on them, so I can clean behind them.

Lol. My cat would just look at the rat and think, meh, can't be f$#ked. Given that he's 22 I don't blame him.

Have seen four copper heads already, this season. There was a small one under the shed last year but it didn't touch the rats. I think it was after the skinks and blue tongues.

That's a good sign mate. I think it was Hodge who said they keep the brownies away. Or was that red belly blacks that did that? Eric?

[mudnut]

I think it is the Red bellies that eat other snakes. The copperheads seem to be very passive but you never know. I have been mowing walking tracks all around the paddocks just to gives us a chance to see the buggers in time.

Something I copied out from this site: https://biomedicalsciences.unimelb.edu.au/departments/pharmacology/engage/avru/discover/snakes/black-snakes-pseudechis

"A positive and widespread piece of folk wisdom about red-bellied black snakes is that they eat the more dangerous eastern brown snakes (Pseudonaja textilis), and thus if red-bellied black snakes are present, brown snakes will not be. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true – whilst red-bellied black snakes will certainly eat brown snakes (and other snakes), and thus may contribute to keeping their numbers down, the presence of black snakes is no guarantee as to the absence of brown snakes. It is an interesting fact, however, that black snakes appear immune to the venom of brown and other venomous snakes, as they have been observed receiving multiple bites from their toxic prey without apparent ill effect."

[Hodge]

Red bellies will munch on the others if they manage to grab one, but doesn't mean you wont have the others still hanging around. There is no territoriality involved here. Tigers are absolutely everywhere regardless of what other snakes are around.
IMO red bellies would not be able to keep up with tiger numbers. I reckon for every red belly you see, there is probably 6 tigers within 1km radius.
Go for a walk along a creek or swampy area one morning 28-30C degrees preffered, usually 10-12pm... and count how many tigers you see vs. red bellies or browns. You'll see what i mean.

We lifted one of them kids sand shell things once in yarrambat and there was a tiger sinking its fangs all over this black. Unfortunately for the tiger , it was half digested and it was all over red rover. We let if finish its business and bagged the red later.
When my mate went to relocate/release it, he found 2 snakes in the bag. One of them had seen better days to say the least.

[mudnut]

We are situated near a creek, and have some low seasonally swampy ground. Yabbies dig holes in winter and many animals use the holes during the dry months.

Sunday BBQ’s, throwing another Shrimp on before our season end.

Cool didnt know that of you.
Was down Hoppers last week and a guy had "THE SNAKE CATCHER"
written down the side of his twin cab.
We used to get snakes here all the time but its been
10yrs since Ive seen or heard of them. Having a 4x4 ppl tend
to knock on my door thinking Im a Steve Erwin far from it.
Hate them dont want to even see one. No mice either for a while maybe they are back
If anyone sees one place a phone book on it and ring your local "SNAKE MAN"
