It is a keelback (Tropidonophis mairii). Body shape, head shape, you can see some of the scale keeling, its size and colour all point to it being a keelback. A very good looking one as well.

thanks baker. general consensus has been keelback, just none of us have seen one that colour before
 
The last keelback I saw was a similar colour. That was in Brinsmead. :) They do have a fair bit of variation.
 
I saw one that looked identical to that a couple of years ago in a pond near Daintree Village.
