User's notes
Found dead on a clear space of woodchips in my front garden - on a street that runs at the base of Mt Ainslie.
Google's AI image search identifies this as a juvenile Eastern Brown Snake (& after i gave it further info about the wounds, google suggested it was likely killed by a kookaburra, magpie or currawong, either in situ or accidentally dropped inro my yard); CarbonAI (ie NatureMapr's image identification) suggests it's a Burton's Snake-lizard (97% confidence).
I would be pleased if someone can accurately identify it.

I note that the snake was 1 - 1.2m in length, and about 2/3 the girth of a banana. With this info, google AI now suggests it was an adult (the bark chips in my garden are 'home chipped' and quite large, which originally made the AI think the snake was smaller than in actuality).
