This is a great record. It might be the first record of a Rosenberg's Monitor from the Cotter Catchment (there is another record from near the Cotter Pumping Station in the MR corridor)

Will we have had four records in 2017 and 2018 from the Pipeline Road on CNM and there are two 2015 records from Vanities crossing Road- so I suspect Rosernberg's occurs across the Lower Cotter Catchment, but an important record nevertheless, and it is from an area of Namadgi where we haven't any other records.
