Amazing moment A brave driver uses just his cowboy hat and bare hands to stop a snake from being crushed on a lonely roadway.

After noticing an unauthorized road user, a vigilant driver pulled his car over onto the side of a winding roadway and bravely performed a rescue.

The hat-wearing hero in Longreach, central Queensland, parked his ute off a lonely two-lane road so he could move a snake out of the way before it met an unhappy conclusion.

The man with the cowboy hat handled the situation casually while a passing car slowed down to record it.

In Queensland, where the weather is starting to cool down, snake sightings are increasing as they move about to avoid the cold.

In the video, the man slowly moves closer before using his hat to toss the snake toward the edge of the road.

Then he gently creeps up behind it, grabs its tail, and swings it back into the long grass on the side of the road.

After successfully getting the snake off the road, he got back in his ute and drove off.

In Queensland, where the humid, tropical, and subtropical climates make it a great home for reptiles, large snakes are a common sight.

People on a night drive in far-northern Queensland in July 2021 came found Australia’s largest python.

A photographer captured the scrub python creeping over an outback road at Cape Tribulation in the Daintree Rainforest.

While this is going on, brown snakes have been spotted in beds and on back decks in Kalbar and the Sunshine Coast, 110 km west of the Gold Coast.

With their powerful venom that can cause paralysis, excessive bleeding, and even death, eastern brown snakes are the second deadliest breed of snake in the world.

In Australia, where the weather is starting to cool off, snakes frequently look for warm spots to hide.
