Cool pic, thanks for sharing. When I was in WA I didn't see any rock lizards, but there where rock spiders everywhere, mostly at the local windsurfing hangouts.
Only with causehecan...... very disappointing They say its not the size of the hammer, but how u swing it,,,,,,,,,,,,, tiny hammer with no idea how to use it.
Thats a regal looking specimen of a lizard there we used to have heaps of different lizards in Perth on the coast. Went to duranbah and snapper last year and at d bah on top of the hill on the grass area near the lookout where hundreds of people sit and eat lunch everyday there was half a dozen hanging out.. The ones we used to get a lot of in Perth are like giant skinks, when I was a kid there were heaps and heaps of them from watermans to trigg island in the rocks and caves nowadays you never see them... havent actually seen one for a year or two which is quite disappointing there is a dog beach half way between and I reckon people's dogs and stray cats have pretty much depleted them, any left are smart enough to hide
Have encountered them creekside from 10 to 120 cm long when I was trout fishing in Kanagra-Boyd NP, S of Oberon, and many sunning themselves on riverside lawns on the upper Hawkesbury River and Woronora River. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_water_dragon
