England. Jeremy Zak is, however, a lucky fellow, is on the eve of springtime in Australia.

We move from his Sydney, which is the heavily populated part of Australia, to Brisbane, which is the tropical and

heavily populated part of Australia. Brisbane, however, is surrounded by an army that's laying

it under siege. What kind of army, Jeremy? Well, this is the slithery, scary snake-type army, I guess you could say.

And what's happened this week, John, is in acknowledgement that our weather is warmer than normal

and that the snakes are coming out earlier than normal,

in Queensland there's been a number of public service announcements made to the general population

about snake safety and what to look out for this summer as the snake

population really does lay siege to everybody living in Queensland by the sheer fact that their

numbers are two, three times more than they normally are.

And what happened most, I guess, amazingly this week was that we actually had a public service

announcement, not just for suburbs and areas where you can expect to see snakes around on the ground,

which is pretty normal, but actually watering holes.

And what was out there was that there are five watering holes there in Queensland

that have more snakes than pretty much anywhere else in the suburban areas.

And not surprisingly, John, all of these places are literally around Brisbane.

And just to give you an idea of the snakes that we're looking out for there in at least

four of the watering holes, the Great Eastern Brown Snake is expected to be around there

in great numbers, not just on the land, but also swimming in there as well.

And these are all within an hour of Brisbane.
