The line across the back of its head was unusual I thought but unlikely to be a Nobbi Dragon up there?

I reckon it looks more like a Mountain Dragon (Rankinia diemensis).
Whereabouts was it found, as I can't see a location for some reason?

Thanks. Location further confirms Mountain Dragon at over 1080m this is the only dragon species you're likely to find at that altitude.
