Aussies are a bit odd in that sense.. they LIKE snakes. I personally would run like the wind if I saw one.
We are made of relatively tough stuff considering we're surrounded by a number of nasty things that could bite you and kill you. You just learn to live with it.. and spray bug repelent from a long distance.

cheers
