Geocache Description:


After doing numerous caches with my nephews I think it was time to submit one. Beware as there are many mugglers on weekends, especially in summer.

The Snake Man is the common name for a reptile show at La Perouse, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. Also known as 'the snake pit', an occasional Sunday afternoon visit to the Snake Man was a tradition for generations of Sydney families. The show was held on the same site in La Perouse since the early 20th century.

George Cann took on the show in the 1920s and the Cann family ran the show thereafter. Snake bites were an ongoing hazard. The last snake man, John Cann, last show was held on 18 April 2010.

The Hawkesbury Herpetological Society conducts shows every weekend.

Shows are performed from 1:30pm Sundays and Public Holidays, and well worth watching
