Now this is a creature I would love to see in the wild, lucky you. (I am in coastal NSW). Did it beat a hasty retreat when you crossed paths, or hung around a while? It looks to be a great size. What an awesome sighting. Posted 5 years ago

  We (3 of us) had actually walked past it when I noticed it just behind.
  I carefully approached and the snake showed no real reaction and I got my photos.
  Afterwards it was still quietly basking where we had found it - a perfect encounter! Posted 5 years ago
