Another possibility is a large centipede. They do produce a painful bite that subsides after a few minutes. Given you were bitten through clothing, the effects of the bite would have been ameliorated. Carefully check the puncture wounds. If they are directed down but towards each other, then that would confirm it was a centipede. The fangs are sharp tipped but become very thick, very quickly, in contrast to the needle like fangs of an elapid. This, combined with the strong muscle that pulls then together so they enter the flesh, causes a pincer like effect on the intervening tissue. So mild bruising, particularly between the puncture marks, is usual. The fact that there were raised lumps indicates that you were injected with venom and your body is developing a localised reaction to that. Again, this is more typical of a centipede bite than a snake bite.

it will not be a centipede mate.
only pedes in seymour are cormocephalus aurantiipes (110mm) and cormocephalus esulcatus (70mm). they will not have big enough fangs and if so they would hurt so much, a bite from an average size pede burns for a week.
only pede that could produce 2cm gap are larger ethmostigmus rubripes in NQLD
