Whilst Freshwater Snake or Keelback (Tropidonophis mairii subsp. mairii) is the first thing to come to mind when I see this and the most likely suspect, based on pattern, build and location, one cannot discount Rough-scaled Snake (Tropidechis carinatus), which are also found in the area. The quality of the photo unfortunately doesn't allow for a positive ID, therefore it's best to leave this as a suggestion only in my opinion.

Very good info thank you @PatrickCampbell2

Yes have heard reports of RSS's very close by.

My pleasure Aaron. As you know, this is an important one to get right, with Roughies being dangerously venomous.

Totally agree @PatrickCampbell2

I said to myself, I'm 95% sure this is a keelback, but that's 15% off being 110%.
