I visit this place often, at least a couple times a week. There is a strain of albinos I an just wanting to find. Many years ago I found a white and yellow snake but I was too young to realise it was an albino radix. So I left it alone and never saw it again, I just never knew what it was.

But yesterday during a visit and on my way back to my car I heard some crackling and movement in the bushes followed by alot of smoke and 2 kids around 18-20 years old noticed me and started to take off running, they really paniced when I started yelling loudly at them. That made them run away but I had to make a quick decision, that fire was spreading up the embankment very quick with all the dried up leaves and bush. As I hopped the fence I spotted an A&W cup, so I grabbed it, jumped into the water which was only about knee deep and drenched the area. That fire was hot and they used some sort of oil to start it. I just kept throwing water all over the area and eventually it was out.
After that I got on the phone with 911 and they sent the fire department to make sure everything is OK in the area, the fire marshall shook my hand and said good job. But I think the kids will never be caught.

I think next year I'm going to start a project and clean that section of Omands Creek. Maybe bring some wild snakes back into the area and see if I can help a population grow once again. Way too often I visit there and see snakes heads bashed in by these damn kids. I used to go there on any given day and catch a bunch of snakes. Now I'm lucky to even see 1 in a week.

Only if people were given titles, I'd be Mathew Schwager Guardian of Omands Creek
