User's notes

1.5 m long uniform dark grey not sure species. Head similar colour but cant see on pic. On Canberra centenary bike path by Barton highway. Nearly stepped on it but noisy magpies on path warned me and I took picture as it moved off path

Based on locality and what I can see in this image, my best suggestion is that it is probably a Brown Snake. I am happy to suggest this and stand corrected.
