Significant sighting

MichaelMulvaney noted:

7 Feb 2019

The Tree Goanna or Lace Monitor is very rare in our region and all sightings are significant - it it a shame that this animal is road kill - but an indication of what the species is threatened by in what appears to be its last CNM area stronghold
