An unlucky young man was airlifted to hospital twice after being bitten by a snake twice at the same location.
The 18-year-old contractor was bitten by an unidentified snake on the lower right leg while clearing scrub on a Capella property west of Rockhampton about 10.30am on Friday.
An RACQ CQ Rescue helicopter airlifted the man to Mackay Base Hospital in a stable condition.
On Sunday, the man went back to work in the same paddock when he was bitten again by a snake, twice on the left forearm, when he put down his chainsaw after clearing scrub.
Another rescue helicopter, with a doctor and care paramedic aboard, airlifted the man to Mackay Base Hospital just before midday.
The 18-year-old couldn't describe the type of snake to aircrew, only that it was "brown coloured".
"This incredibly unlucky fellow wasn't very talkative as he was in great deal pain when we arrived at the hospital today," an RACQ CQ Rescue crewman said.
"He did tell us this time the snakebite happened at the opposite end of the same paddock he was working in when he was bitten on Friday."
On Tuesday, a woman, 25, was airlifted to Mackay Base Hospital from Clermont after she was bitten on the toe by a brown snake as she walked to a sandpit with her two children.
