This record of this rare species is a little to the north of other recent records and helps determine likely population extent
User's notes
This handsome specimen was basking on the road about 4pm on Saturday 9 December 2017 (1.7km south of the turnoff to the NVC). We snatched a couple of photos and then hunted it off the road to the east. Estimates of its size varied from 1.2 to 1.5m.
