Located by the cockatoos and galahs going off! By the appearance of the broken egg it could have been raiding a nest.

A very important record of this declining species. Has been sloughing its skin - still a bit to go on neck and tail. The patches of woodland, network of tree-lined lanes, termite mounds and any large hollow trees all very important to the survival of these large goannas. Thank you for the record.
