I'm hoping that you are able to identify the following snake I saw while walking to Serpentine Gorge in Central Australia. It was approx. 1-1.5 m long.
Western Brown Snake (Pseudonaja nuchalis). The very large eye is often a giveaway with the Brown Snakes - they often hunt by sight when chasing prey because they are largely a diurnal genus, so good vision is important to them
