A Port Hedland mother has thanked emergency service volunteers after a long rescue effort following a bite from a deadly western brown snake, Australia's most venomous.
"It was like something I'd never experienced before," she said.
"There were also some unexpected things like wasps nests and lots of loose rock so footing was really, really important."Fortunately for Megan Brouwer and her family, she had received a "dry bite" so was not envenomated by the attack."I've since learned that if he had've got me a second time maybe that would've been a poisonous bite.
