Hey @NateKingsford, just flagging this sighting for correction, think it's a Amphibolurus muricatus, jacky dragon?

@Choyster, there's definitely a lizard in these photos, however I'm not the best with my herps so I can't ID it. If you take a gander at the back of the lizard, there's actually a wolf spider taking a lift! I'm sure there's a duplicate observation for the lizard, but this sighting was originally submitted as an unidentified spider.

Super cool seeing the hitchhiker
