The story was that the snake slid purposefully towards a tent, nearby folks jumped up & down to make noise to send it away.

Then nearby musos made music (noise?) to scare it, but it ignored them all till a banjo started up. It stopped, looked at the banjo & departed, followed by banjo noise (music). Dot who reported it is a dancer & chorus singer, not a teller of tall tales.

As I can't stand hot weather, I might think of going to Nariel Creek, if I can get a ride & a guarantee there will be banjos present.
