LOOKING FOR Nuvolari Seneviratne IN MELBOURNE
Dear friends, I had a friend, Nuvolari Seneviratne who also served my regiment as an officer.
He then migrated to Australia and resided in Melbourne
We frequently were in touch, and as usual he related about the fearful encounters he had with venomous snakes., which was his facination.
Even back home and in one incident, he grabed a Russel’s Viper by its neck not far from the mens canteen.
As I saw it I recognize the diamond markings and warned him, he seemed to not worry and mishandled it, and was bitten
Then of course he was rushed to hospital, and I had to finish it off with my Malacca Cane
Now I tried my best to contact him but failed
Even his friends including Rayburn Vanderwall is somewhat worried, and added that he last heard he was seen in the North in an area which is inhabited by salt water crocodiles and venomous snakes.
