Interesting! You guys down under have some nasty snakes, among them the Eastern brown snake. But you are low on the bite rate unlike India where bites are common, many serious.

I think the snake in this case might be a legless lizard (possibly pygopus nigriceps). In the second photo you can just make out the remnants of the hind legs.
