No time to take photos. I had a "snake stick " handy as I usually do these days and was able to catch it and drive it to a nice shady spot beside a river about 5 km away. I hope it adage about putting a waterway between you and the snake holds good. That's the second one of those in 6 months.

Good on you Peter for taking it away, my neighbour shoots them!
I keep the lid on my dob just in case, accept when observing.
Had a baby black snake exploring the wood I am using to build a denver chair, it found it's own way out.
