While fly-fishing at Harvey Dam yesterday with some friends, we came across the 1.5m
dugite snake shown in the photos below.
Actually, it is probably more accurate to say it came across us.
While standing on the edge of the dam water with a rod in my hand, the snake's arrival was announced via some screaming by a female friend.
The snake was clearly terrified, and tried to blend into the background by not moving at all.
I immediately grabbed my camera, and started shooting the snake.
With some gentle encouragement with a fishing rod, the snake departed up the hillside, and disappeared in a hole in the ground.

Were the screams by DG? I can just imagine that!
