A documented Hornsby Heights rescue
A diamond python had wound its body through a garden fence. Harley supported the animal and freed it carefully before securing it for relocation.
The job shows why a trapped snake should be left to an experienced handler. Pulling an animal through bars can injure it and put the person handling it at risk.
One district, different access needs
Hornsby town centre
Give the building, basement level or loading entrance. Hornsby Park’s Quarry Road precinct is a different location from the shopping and station area.
Reserve boundaries
For Beecroft–Cheltenham, Hornsby Heights or Berowra Valley calls, distinguish a private garden from a public walking track.
Brooklyn and the river
Say whether the property can be reached by road. Boat, wharf or water-only access needs to be discussed before attendance.
Local references: Beecroft–Cheltenham Link Track, Crosslands Reserve, McKell Park, Brooklyn.
Confirm availability for your address
Keep clear of the animal and call with its last known location. Do not attempt a capture.
