Snake season is here
As the weather warms up, snakes start to become more active. You may start to see them out on our paths and in
the grass and bushland near reserves. Remember that snakes are a vital part of the natural environment and play an
important role in our ecosystem. Some species are protected and it is illegal to harm them. When it comes to snakes,
the best advice is live and let live – so please keep an eye out and keep your distance.

Walking to school just
got more interesting!
Bibra Lake Residents Group wanted to find a way to
encourage kids to walk to school and reduce traffic
congestion around Bibra Lake Primary and Blue Gum
Montessori School.
Group President Felicity Bairstow came up with the idea
of putting stickers of native animals along the walkways
to the schools to encourage kids to walk and learn about
the native wildlife in the area, with the bonus of reducing
traffic around the schools.
She engaged the services of local artist Darren Hutchens
to create five animal footpath stickers, a turtle, cocky, bat,
cocky-track and snake-track.
"We are quite an environmentally minded lot, being
so close to the lake, and many of us have been
involved in campaigns to protect our local bushland
and wetlands. They are animals we see and hear
regularly," Dr Bairstow said.
This project was proudly supported by the
