It was on the western side of the road when I drove past heading north. I managed to stop afterwards, and exited my car to see it cross the road. Unfortunately, it was across to the other side before I could get a decent photo. It descended down a bank into the bush on the eastern side of the road.

Notice the dark bands on the tail with the thin pale band in the middle of each one, diagnostic for rosenbergi
