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 > 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 > Common Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis) See the previous photo of this snake for details. Sorry about the quality of the photographic composition but this guy was moving a lot and I had no intension of barring his way.
Bob Trlin > Common Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis) This is the second most venomous snake and because human habitation doesn't seem to bother it, it is also potentially the most dangerous snake in the world. Its venom is 12.5 times as toxic as that of the Indian Cobra (see http://www.venomsupplies.com/toxicity/). This fellow is about 1.5m long. I found him lurking near our chickens. Curiously, the chickens kept approaching him till he decided to slither back into his hole. I expect he was expecting to snaffle up one of the eggs. This snake is very dark for a Brown so I initially thought it was the far less venomous Red-bellied Black Snake. However the red of its belly should be evident from the side but it isn't. Also its head (seen better in the next photo) has a decidedly brown tinge. In hindsight, the snake appeared to be in constant state of agitation which is typical of Browns.
