Took it back down to the river where it immediately disappeared!  It was a pretty old one with scarring on it's body from fights and also large areas apparently damaged in bushfires.  As docile as an old dog. Here's some more pics.

 

The last one I saw was a dugite (have also seen one on the beach sunning itself, slithered off into the sandhills when I approached) down at Denmark (WA) on a walking track outside the Rivermouth Caravan Park. I only had thongs on at the time. It was laying at the side of the track. I stopped and it just lay there, eventually just slithered past on the side of the track when it saw I was not a threat. I have rellies in Denmark who often see Tiger Snakes.

This is an excellent site for info on snakes, I went to a talk by Brian Bush who bought his snakes along to give a talk to our bush walking club. Apparently most snakes hunt at night, especially around waterways for frogs etc. I have a GN glitch at the moment so either copy and past this link to your browser or if someone could make it clickable please;
