I'm pretty sure it's a Monk snake (Suta monachus). Just not t a very brightly colored one. http://www.cagephotos.com/Australia-2008/Alice-Springs/6905140_ZKJms/5/442227463_USCpF#442227463_USCpF

Bit hard to tell.. so many types with dark areas near head... from shape of head it could be Unbanded Shovel Nosed Snake (Simoselaps incinctus)
