Hopefully got the photos good enough! Left and right of face. Animal was very chilled and just. watched the excited humans and wondered why all the paparazzi!

Yes thanks @JimL, they are fine for ID. Rosenberg's Goannas live for decades so the record in CNM should prove very helpful in years to come. For example, I suspect Gudgenby is a sink population, propped up by constant overflow from Naas Valley so it should be possible to determine whether that is the case.
