A very important record of this endangered earless dragon. This may be the southern-most record from the Monaro. I will let you know when I find out more information.

An update to my previous comment on that southerly location for your record. I have found out that there are several locations a few km further to the south-east. Specific locations are confidential for this endangered species so I wont list them.
