"The presenters always had our safety in mind. This was the most amazing course I have ever attended. I have a greater respect for snakes. The course was also fantastic for my personal development as I successfully achieved things that initially scared me."
Welcome
to Geoff Coombe's Living with Wildlife web site!
Learn to understand, appreciate and live with Australia's most fascinating yet misunderstood animals, by training with one of the country's top authorities on Australia's venomous snakes.
Venomous snakes can be found all around Australia and every day people are exposed to the dangers of venomous snakes, spiders, stinging insects and other problem creatures, with many incidents occurring in metropolitan areas.
Work-related incidents involving venomous animals are increasing every year, as urban and rural growth and exploration invade wildlife habitats. This is a world-wide phenomenon, particularly involving venomous invertebrates such as spiders and scorpions. People in rural or remotely-located occupations, in particular people working for government wildlife agencies, mining companies, defence force personnel, ecotourism operators, emergency response staff, aid workers, and wildlife rescue volunteers will benefit from doing a Living with Wildlife training program.
The interactive courses, workshops and seminars offered by Geoff Coombe enable participants to identify and manage venomous snakes in every type of environment. Please, explore this web site to find out more about Geoff Coombe and the Living with Wildlife snake handling courses.
If you have completed one of Geoff's courses and/or are a trained Snake Catcher, you can now buy specialist equipment through the Living with Wildlife Online Shop, including Geoff's Snake Catching Kit, his New Generation Snake Catching Stick and a comprehensive Snake Bit First Aid Kit.
