Very few records from our region or this section of the Murrumbidgee

User's notes

Private property. No public access without permission. Monitor was in our neighbour's house yard (with dogs), so they herded it out via an opened gate, which it decided to climb instead of walk through. It then climbed up the nearest tree. The last photo is from the time listed. We arrived and took the close ups in the tree at around 5pm. Note the scar on tail in photo 4.

@DonFletcher surprise! We have more photos and video if you need. Including full length with end of tail.

Well done everyone. Many thanks for the message. Rare indeed in this region. (There are others near Burrinjuck and from Murrumbateman to Gundaroo). I have messaged you separately about future sightings.
