The little guy was back
Even though I say "little" they're still quite big and he was smaller than the other Lace Monitor (or Goanna) that was around. You can just see the end of his tail on the far left of the picture.- delia todd

Gonna have a quick drink
We were on high alert hoping another Lace Monitor or Goanna would appear again and he didn't let us down. However, he (and we) were in for a bit of a surprise when another much bigger one came in too. The smaller one shot off to be chased away by the big guy. All quite exciting to watch!!- delia todd

Having a snoop
Suddenly Hans and I noticed some different movement and there was a Lace Monitor (or Goanna) coming in for a drink. I've already shown you some of him drinking, so this is just a head shot when we first spotted him arriving.- delia todd

Loooong
Our last stop of the day, for a late lunch, was at Venman's Bushland, a national park which is joined onto other conservation areas of woodland. We found a handy picnic table under a large tree, and it wasn't long before we were entertained by this large goanna, or lace monitor (I think it's...- delia todd

After lunch at Port Morgan we then continued on to our main venue for the day Gluepot! Turning off the metalled road onto the dirt track, you're still faced with, I think, about 15 more miles into the outback, passing through another station. We'd only got to about the first gate when we...- delia todd

A battle
.. for supremacy I guess. I was so hoping a Lace Monitor would appear again and sure enough one arrived. Had a drink and swam around in the waterhole. Suddenly Hans and I noticed another, larger, one appearing stage left! Gawd now what!!! The first one was still in the water but climbing out...- delia todd

Thirsty
Hans and I spotted this guy coming from way back in the forest at exactly the same time! He made a bee-line for the water hole, not sure if he came by hopefully, or could smell the water there. A nice creature this one.- delia todd

Is the coast clear?
This Lace Monitor approached the water hole very gingerly, as on his previous visit another, larger one appeared and chased him off. He peeked over the top of a rock before going on to have a drink.- delia todd

A few names
.... for these I think. Lace Monitor or the Aborigine name of Goanna. Though I think can also be called Tree Monitor. Life can get confusing. I'll likely show you another one or two images of this guy, who really entertained us for lunch at Venman's a conservation area...- delia todd

Lace Monitor
About 1 meter/3 feet. Was on the ground, but in defence climbed the tree. Initially tried keeping the trunk between it and me, but then froze and let me take some pictures- njlarsen
