Good shots of something that looks like a remnant from 200 million years ago.

Both neighbours (in Sydney) have small ponds that have attracted water dragons and they treat us as part of their territory as they wander between the two ponds.

Seen on the ground, on the fence, wandering across my roof (see a head or a long tail hanging over the guttering sometimes) they just wander where they like and are reasonably approachable.

Occasionally I see the newly hatched ones in the yard, amazingly they are just an exact lookalike to the big ones but way way smaller. Cute.

One neighbour was feeding them grapes and one was bold enough to enter his house looking for food if the sliding screen door was left open.

Not seen so often are blue tongue lizards, goannas, various types of snake, bandicoots, wallabies, lyre birds, brush turkeys and all the usual fly-in bird life. They all have attacked or wandered through the garden at times.

A lot of reptiles there. I only get skinks with the odd blue tongue and bearded dragon appear around my little pond.
