As with all good tales there's an element of truth there;-) We have more varieties of snake than any other country, and two thirds of them are venomous. So if you want to eat one, take care. There's a plant grows in the southwest of WA called a zamia - we used to call it a zamia palm, but it's as much a palm as a koala is a bear. Except the zamia does look like palms. It's toxic. Think curare (did I get the spelling right? Anyone from South America?). The aborigines used to eat them. A lot of Australian fauna is somewhat resistant to ten-eighty because a lot of Australian flora produces it. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
