User's notes
The brown snake was sighted crossing the ground in front of two of us as we were reading a direction sign. The snake entered a hole in the ground close to the sign (first image), presumably searching for prey. It reemerged a few minutes later with its head covered in spider’s web and with a spider hanging just underneath its head (second image). The snake then slowly left the area as shown in the other images and in following sighting 4651239.
