Death Adders Spice Up Island Resort Experience


Police had an unusual call-out when they were asked to deal with two death adders found near the kitchen of a Groote Eylandt resort in the Northern Territory.

The officers managed to catch the two snakes but were called back to the resort near Alayangula, off the coast of Arnhem Land, two hours later when staff found another death adder lurking around the same location.

Darwin Watch Commander Greg Pusturla says the officers again corralled the venomous reptile but that still wasn't the end of it.

"When walking back towards the reception area, they located another snake," he said.
"Fortunately, all four snakes were taken into custody.

"They have now been released without charge about five kilometres from town, out in the bush."
