Maybe some striping to greyish brown back. Quite a thinnish snake with whitish unmarked belly. Obvious thinning between head and body making the head clearly defined. Head scales match Notechis scutatus. I have never seen tiger snakes here before but they are known to be a few km to the west of Moruya. There is a large dam nearby. Maybe it was a young snake and was hit by a car (though not squashed). Even though it is over a metre long, it had the appearance of a small snake. Its thin tail might have contributed to this.
This is not a white lipped snake. It is much bigger than Drysdalia coronoides. I have seen these a few kms from here but this snake is much much bigger than those. This snake is over a metre long.
