brachyurophis australis

Just wondering if anyone can ID this animal. It was found by a friend of mine in the Pilliga Forest near Baradine. It was put in the cardboard box for photographing & released. I am told it was around 12 inches long.

A guy on another forum made these disparaging remarks about our elapids. His comment was: I decided to reply and thought that some of you would enjoy these pics as well. I am sure that you will agree that we have plenty of brilliantly coloured snakes that are various shades of olive...
