Roadkill on Boboyan road, Namadgi NP, a few km north of Hospital hill lookout.. Probably male, owing to size.

JBrickhill left this goanna at Namadgi Visitor Centre to be put in the freezer. Dead Rosenberg's Goannas are being collected for research on: environmental toxins, goanna diet, population structure revealed by DNA, and ageing goannas.
