BIZARRE: Uk man bitten by world s deadliest snake while on camping trip in australia | Mind Blowing Facts

A couple's camping trip turned into a nightmare after one of them got airlifted to hospital after being bitten by one of the world's most deadly snakes. Ben Ross, 29, and Georgia Powell, 28, went for a three-day camping trip which got cut short after Ben was bitten by an Eastern brown snake and rushed to hospital.

The couple originally expected to go camping on Fraser Island, Australia, a few days later but brought their trip forward a few days so they could explore alone. On their first morning, the pair - who record their travels for YouTube channel geebeetv - woke up early to capture the sunrise with their drone, when it crashed in the sand dunes surrounding them.

Ben went to retrieve the drone where he stepped on a "darkish thing" in the long grass. He made his way back down to camp to check his ankle when he saw two fang marks and called the emergency services.
