Your Favourite Dinosaur Name?

[Farseer]

I've never actually seen a snake on our property here.

Right there is yet another reason why I should make a sea change to Tasmania, Nuytsia!

I have had more than my fair share of snake stories and so could definitely tolerate a future without them...a Down's Tiger Snake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collett's_Snake in the entertainment unit while my daughter was watching Playschool one afternoon, a whopper of a King Brown http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_brown in the washtubs which took three boiled kettles and a 410 shotgun to finish it off and a couple of occasions where others have been wrapped around the doorknob of the kids' bedroom, to name just a few that pop into my head.

I grew up on a sheep station and we had an indoor garden which acted as a magnet to every kind of snake possible...I lived my life in fear! We used to get an abundance of frogs in the toilets and where there are frogs, there tends to be snakes also, and King Browns on most occasions!!

I will never forget the day when I was in our schoolroom with my two boys doing schoolwork while my daughter (a baby at the time) was asleep on a quilt on the floor...we'd had a box of nearly two dozen chickens in the room with us at the time and suddenly a big goanna roared in through a piece of guaze on the verandah, slipped in through a crack in the door and ate the lot of the chickens bar one...of course we named the one which remained, 'Lucky'!

ps On topic...with the Muttaburrasaurus, the Minmi and the Kronosaurus all being local dinosaurs to our area, I'd have to go with those in a three-way tie for title of 'favourite'.
