A rare encounter on the track to Durba Springs - Video

Monday 7th July, 2008

Having finally reached the Canning Stock Route, we were heading north on the Canning towards Durba Springs, a magnificent gorge where weary travellers often take respite after weeks on the track. The track skirts the rugged ramparts of the Durba Range and as we were following the well eroded track, we encountered a Stimson’s Python (Antaresia stimsoni) leisurely crossing the sand. We spent a bit of time filming him before the vibrations caused by our proximity caused him to rear up in defence mode. A rare encounter in the outback.
