Definitely a dragon and looks most like a Jacky Dragon.

This could also be a Nobbi Dragon or a juvenile Bearded Dragon but the head shape seems to be wrong for the latter and there are no records of Nobbi Dragons from the suburbs or reserves in this area. In this case I suggest we accept the record as A. muricatus however as a general rule there should be no doubt about any identifications.
