User's notes
This guy did not move a muscle as I drove slowly past, and I stopped twice to take a photo from the car, had to pass within a couple of feet of its head. As there was a tree down across the road a couple of hundred metres further along I returned a few minutes later, but the snake was nowhere to be seen.
