[entertained] Wikipedia says Brownsnakes aren't generally brown...learning how to tell them apart from each other and random brown snakes seems quite the task; I wish you luck with it. Fungi are less likely to bite you, at least, though biting them might be equally unwise...

Och, I'm sure yours have even more, if there's an elder alive anywhere to remember it - Gulpilil said the magpies pushed the sky up to where it is now when creatures first crawled out of the ground, back in the Dreamtime, for instance. Before that, the sky was almost on the ground and everyone got bent (I had a book of these tales as a child). They would probably tell you about the weather/witches/weddings if you asked them, too, unless that's something else's job down there.
