Thanks for clarifying that @clairesandford .
It was most probably a Red-bellied Black Snake if it was relatively big and jet black in colour. Roughly how long was it?

No, not for sure, but there were lots of fantails flying nearby so could be a possibility...

The snake was about a kilometre closer to Granya Road than at the rock that was labelled "SLOW". The photo serves the purpose of reminding me of the approximate location. It was exactly where I stopped to find that my rear derailleur had broken. Since I couldn't pedal from there onwards I relied on gravity to travel. I was travelling fast past the snake and didn't stop to take a photo. But a friend returned to get a better look. The snake was between the "SLOW" sign and Granya road.

@clairesandford - can the snake be seen in the photo at all?

A bit of a special sighting, being a Murray-Darling Carpet with the bonus of having recently consumed a prey item.
@LenLenJones - Do you happen to know what it had eaten?
