Garbutt Man's Slithery Early Morning Encounter
What a nightmare!

An encounter with a snake at any time of the day is our idea of a real life nightmare, but it was a frightful reality for a Garbutt man.
Around 3am this morning a slithery visitor bit the man on the arm.
The 33-year-old was transported to the Townsville Hospital in a stable condition.
The incident occurred at the man's Garbutt home on Woolcock Street.
