A Brit has been branded careless after being bitten by the lethal brown snake while walking barefoot in Australia.
Ben was holidaying on Fraser Island, Queensland, with his partner Georgia when they decided to hire a car and do some off-road driving.
They spent the first day travelling along a beach in their pink 4-wheel-drive before setting up to camp overnight, sharing their sleeping quarters with "a couple of dingoes and a few crabs".
