News reports are saying that several regions across southeastern Queensland and northern New South Wales have seen floodwaters inundating roads, cutting off towns and damaging properties, as authorities advised residents in low-lying areas to move to higher ground.
Photos and videos circulating on social media show snakes and other wildlife navigating through stagnant floodwaters in urban areas. One video shows a deadly snake interrupting the tennis match between Dominic Thiem and James McCabe on 30 December. Other videos on TikTok and in local media show snakes spotted in toilet cubicles and bowls.
Wildlife rescuer Tennille Bankes, who was recently called out to Goondiwindi near the New South Wales border to retrieve a black snake from inside a public toilet, told Yahoo News Australia the “wild weather” during Christmas and New Year is likely one of the reasons behind the phenomenon.
