Southern Downs teen's brush with death after snake bite
Premium Content Subscriber only ONE Glen Aplin man's firefighter training turned out to be a lifesaver after he was bitten by a deadly snake this afternoon. 18-year-old Lochlan Postema was working at his contracting job on a Newman Ln private property when he looked down and got the scare of his life. Spying the head of a brown snake on his lower leg before Mr Postema could step back, the snake lunged for the young man. "It just felt like a little needle pinch and from there, my leg's gone numb," Mr Postema said. "After the bite happened, the pain was intense."
