Certainly could be Pogona. A scale in the image could be helpful for future reference.

It is 10 cm wide, 3 cm deep at entrance. I have seen dragon at this location over the years.

the bizarre thing is it is on an unformed walking track, I have seen other such holes but not at this site. I had wondered previously if it was a lizard, but seeing the eggs had come out of the nest I was fairly sure.

see my other sightings nearby of the Pogonas. I have also seen a mating pair in the vicinity of this site, but not this year

Based on your observations and in the light of no other lizard likely to be in the frame for this size hole in this habitat I am prepared to call it Pogona
