Actually, I’ve been using the tracks up and around Black Mountain lately and have wondered how prevalent snakes might be.
The main summit trail probably has enough pedestrian traffic for the snakes to keep clear, but around the reserve, and in places like the photo above, I wonder if snakes might be a bit more willing to explore?
That might not be a good thing if you take a camera. The roos on Mt Taylor are so used to being photographed they actually pose for you and wait until you take all your pics before hopping away.
Good running country. Have been there a number of times with the Hash House Harriers. The roos leave you alone, too!

I see very few roos actually in Aranda bush, most stay down in the paddocks near there.
Lovely place to walk though, especially if you get off the main tracks and onto the side tracks or roo trails.
Lovely.
Does indeed inspire a walk.
Thanks GG.
