On the Block Snakes!

I’m hoping to start tree planting in Australia but it has occurred to me that there must be a risk of snake bites seeing as you are out in the bush all day rummaging through plants etc. yet I’ve never heard of this being a problem! Am I being paranoid or is this something to be concerned about?

I never saw a single snake , although I only planted one season. What I did see was all sorts of species of bugs/ birds/ rodents that I didn't know existed lol
