RIP Steve,
I grew up in the outskirts of Sydney during the 60's and as kids our major pastime was catching lizards, snakes, spiders and the like. Us Aussies have a great affinity with our unique wildlife and getting "up close and personal" with animals of all kinds is a rite of passage for Aussie kids. Although Steve may have looked reckless in his approach to snakes and the like That is exactly the way Kids of his and my generation caught things. My thoughts go out to his wife Terri and his two children Bindi and Bob.
