A mother in Wimmera, Victoria, will be thanking her lucky stars after her toddler had a very close brush with death.
Two-year-old Molly was having her photo taken in the driveway of her home on Wednesday as she modelled clothing for an Australian children’s clothing label when her mother and photographer, Bianca Dickinson saw something move by her daughter’s feet.
After first thinking it was a piece of bark, she was shocked to realise it was actually a large Eastern brown snake slithering past her oblivious toddler and quickly snatched Molly away.
