Australian cities are never far from the wildlife as Melbourne proved today with a tiger snake drawing a crowd on Spencer Street near Collins Street.
Sydney may have had a wallaby on the Harbour Bridge but the capture of the injured snake in Melbourne was streamed live on the City of Melbourne’s Facebook page.
