User's notes

Goanna was sighted (unfortunately dead on the side of the road, possibly from vehicle collision) in Greenleigh, Queanbeyan NSW near bushland that backs onto the Eastern Escarpment/Cuumbean Nature Reserve.

Thanks - unfortunately we've just been told by other residents in Greenleigh that a second one has been found dead in Lonergan Drive - about 1.5km from this one. I can provide the details once they've got back to me on exact location, photos etc.
