SNAKE BUYS SYDNEY LAND

A vacant block has sold for what is believed to be a record price per square metre:

An eastern suburbs businessman paid a stunning $3.52 million yesterday for a 120-square-metre slither of land overlooking Bondi Beach, smashing the reserve price by $1.32 million.

The block is reportedly 120 metres by 1 metre; sufficient slither room for a capitalist snake.
