Thanks Olivia - a bit of a hotspot for this species - but we also like more records as it helps build up the complex picture as to how this large goanna is utilising and surviving in montane habitat/

Thanks for the confirmation Michael - I was out roadside spraying St. Johns Wort and this one popped up right in front of my colleague whilst walking along - he thought it was a snake! Thankfully a special surprise for the both of us.
