This time of the year it's a bit harder as the snakes are coming out of hibernation and they like to sun themselves over those rocks!
But around March/April if it is dry, it's possible to just walk from left to right here without any hindrance.
My daughter used to go up there in Winter with her school buddies to remove the ticks from the sleeping snakes! Brrrr!....
Then I had a talk with the teacher at the school and she explained it was part of their "nature studies" to teach kids all this.
The snakes are in hibernation, so the ticks move in and in some cases can actually kill them.
These are harmless snakes, mostly small carpet pythons. The real nasty ones the kids also learn to identify and leave alone - a good thing!
Part of the standard primary school material around this area.
I had no clue they were actually teaching kids all this stuff!
