Episode notes

This is the extraordinary tale of how an American born IT sales rep. from Melbourne suddenly found himself making international headlines from the Australian outback! When Edward McKinney headed to Uluru with his wife and baby daughter in early 2022, he was looking forward to enjoying the ‘ultimate NT Aussie adventure’. But after stepping on a brown snake in his hotel hallway, Eddie soon found himself strapped onto an RFDS plane and headed to Alice Springs hospital. And all for the sake of a little baby brown snake!
