Brown snakes bite two in Queensland

Two Queenslanders have fallen victim to snake bites, believed to be from the potentially deadly brown snake, in the space of a day.

A 30-year-old man was bitten near Airlie Beach in central Queensland at midday on Friday.

He was conscious when paramedics arrived before being rushed to Proserpine Hospital.

It comes after a Gold Coast woman, 43, was bitten by a snake in the garage of her home on Thursday night.

She was taken to Gold Coast Hospital in a serious condition.

Both bites are believed to be from native Australian brown snakes, one of the most venomous in the world.

AAP is seeking an update from both hospitals.
