A British 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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Ben went to retrieve the drone where he stepped on a "darkish thing" in the long grass.<br /><br />He made his way back down to camp to check his ankle when he saw two fang marks and called the emergency services.<br /><br />The couple from Hereford, Herefordshire, were originally supposed to be on a group trip to the island starting on January 27, 2023.<br /><br />But they moved forward the trip so they could have the freedom of exploring the area themselves.<br /><br />In the morning, the couple woke up super early to look at the sunrise on the drone but Ben crashed it into the sand dunes above camp.<br /><br />Ben got back to the truck, checked out his ankle and saw two fang marks when the sudden realisation hit that he has been bitten by a snake.<br /><br />The couple was informed that an ambulance was on its way and not to move and risk the chance of further envenomation - the exposure to a poison or toxin resulting from a bite or sting from an animal.<br /><br />About 40 minutes after calling the emergency services, the couple heard the sound of a helicopter.<br /><br />Ben was in the hospital for 12 hours where he received blood tests and heart monitoring and has since made a full recovery.<br /><br />He said: "It hasn’t changed my outlook on Australia and I’ll be out exploring again as soon as possible, just with thicker boots."
