Water Dragon

At the start of the Natural Bridge track, we nearly trod on this guardian of the forest sunning himself.
He's an Eastern Water Dragon (I'm pretty sure). Pretty fierce looking don't you think? Not really. These guys were often hanging around in the back yard when I was a kid. He's a close realative of the more famous frill necked lizards that you'll see in the tourist brocures that hang around in the desert.
