Hi Edwin,
A 3 meter Eastern Brown Snake? Even the 'Bible'of Herpetologists (Reptiles
& Amphibians of Australia, H.G. Cogger) gives the maximum lenght for this
species as  1.5 meters. 
Are you sure it was an Eastern Brown?
        Happy Birding and Snaking,
                                        Klaus
