I live in the bush, and I love it. One of the things I see pretty regularly is snakes. All sorts. Probably the most common are Carpet pythons, Brown tree snakes, and this little fella. 

He [she?] is a Small eyed snake [Cryptophis nigrescens]. People often confuse them with Red bellied Black snakes, [Psuedechis porphyriacus] but there are differences.

Adult Red bellies are quite large, robust snakes. And they are diurnal, meaning you see them during the day. You often see them around creeks. Small eyed snakes are generally quite secretive, and nocturnal... you see them at night. Small eyed snakes are quite small...growing to about 1 meter in length. They can have a pink under belly, or sometimes a cream colour, and they have small eyes...quite hard to even see them. They occur in high rainfall areas along the east coast of Australia [and in sheds in Cooran!]. They are considered highly venomous, with a myotoxic venom. Their diet consists of small lizards, other reptiles and their eggs and sometimes frogs. The are Elapidae, meaning hollow front fanged snakes. One death is reported to have occurred in North Queensland from a small eyed snake, however cause of death was kidney failure... I am sure the bite didn't help. They are quite common, but not seen by that many people. They can be almost glacial in their movement, but I have seen them get very excited and thrash about wildly. They can move very quickly if upset. On one balmy evening a couple of years ago, I had three of them in my shed at one time. 

Which is why you should not walk around at night in bare feet, or thongs, or without a torch!
