At first, nothing seemed out of place.
But then Ms Dickinson looked closer and saw a two-metre long brown snake just centimetres away from her daughter.
Ms Dickinson thought she noticed a bit of bark flying off a nearby tree out the corner of her eye.
"It was really windy," she said.
"Then I looked up out of the camera to see where the bark went and saw a big mother of a snake."
Luckily, Molly didn't even notice the snake behind her.

"I'm surprised it didn't touch her, it was so close," Mrs Dickinson said.
"I checked her for bite marks still."
Mrs Dickinson said it was a good reminder that snakes are still active, even when it was not a hot day.
The eastern brown snake is considered the second deadliest land snake in the world.
