Leon,
It's a brown tree snake like one member suggested, Boiga irregularis. They are venomous but not deadly and usually quite placid. Often active at night.
Place a towel or something over it and put it outside, chances are it'll disappear overnight. After that you can enjoy this beautiful part of Queensland even more.

Clear skies

Huey

Leon, you could ring the RSPCA and see if there is a snake catcher in Yeppoon.
It has probably moved on overnight as they are nocturnal.

If you look at the snake charts supplied you will notice that the super poisonous snakes all have black eyes(like their souls), angry looks & the head shape is different to the python types as well, so your little devil with bulbous greenish eyes is more like the brown tree snake. I only see red, yellow & blue bellied blacks & really big old browns with foul attitude's & the odd whip snake up this neck of the woods.
