Appeared brownish and smallish, is it a mountain dragon? Location may not be exact, somewhere along Lyrebird Trail.

You are correct Christine it is a Mountain dragon. A good record from Tidbinbilla. As John W has pointed out a few times on CNM it helps when you can see the row of enlarged spines (spikey scales) on side of tail just behind back legs. These can be seen in one of your photos.
