Python orgy menaces Yorkeys Knob canoes

An Oz sporting club has been forced to call for ophidian SWAT assistance after a python orgy threatened to destroy its boatshed roof.

Re: Nagini

No wonder the "snake removal" specialist failed twice - obviously one would need the Sword of Gryffindor to vanquish such a beast.

Coat? Yes please, and the hat. The Sorting Hat, of course...

Trouser snake?

Something lorry drivers tend to keep quiet about?

Golf course threatened also then ?

Fun golf course there too. Half surrounded by great swamp, so good chance of losing a ball, or arm and leg to crocs if one went off fairway. Water trap was a sod too, right in front of tee off on No 9. As much fun as an open air theatre in Northern Territory being interupted by a couple of amourous athletic snakes one night. People scattering everywhere. I miss remote areas, dull one day, hillarious the next.
