Bob Trlin > Goanna and Cockatoo "Oi! Get out'a mi tree!", screeched Polly Cockatoo to Mrs. Goanna.
Bob Trlin > Lace Goanna (Varanus varius)A huge goanna was driven into Mum's parsley planter box by our dog. We locked the dog away and let the goanna go on its way. I'd guess it was attracted by the smell of the Christmas turkey I had on the spit.
Bob Trlin > Delicate Skink (Allengreerus delicata)
Bob Trlin > Central Bearded Dragon It was a reasonably warm day so I don't know what this guy was doing lying spread eagle on the rocks. He kept an eye on me all the while I was taking dozens of shots but otherwise he didn't move a muscle
Bob Trlin > Sand Goanna (Varanus gouldii) Note how it moves with its body raised off the ground to avoid the burning sand. Coastal goannas don't do this.
Bob Trlin > Central Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps) in defiant pose with my lovely wife Annette resting and taking in the scenery.
Bob Trlin > Central Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps) He is displaying the defiant posture. Why not, he is in his element at the Broken Hill Living Desert and king of this rock.
Bob Trlin > Eastern Blue-tongue (Tiliqua scincoides) So, do you see why they call them Blue-tongues? Although they look mean, they are quite harmless, slow moving and unfortunately often preyed on by domestic animals. They are great for eradicating snails from the garden.
Bob Trlin > Baby Goanna (Varanus varius) This brave little fella was about 2 foot long and hadn't got a full set of teeth yet. Nevertheless there was no way it was going to let either my dog or myself past. So after taking a few photos, we decided discretion was the better part of valour. Note the tick on its neck. It's probably a reptile tick although there were plenty of Paralysis Ticks about as my dog well knows having had two periods of expensive hospitalisation already this year. I suspect this tough little bloke is immune to ticks.
