I saw Boyd's Forest Dragon in the Daintree and what I thought was the smae in Kuranda, but having a closer look at Wally here, I'm inclined to think the fellow I photographed at Kurand may have been a water dragon. He certainly was long. Same colour markings too.BlossomFlowerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771668346318423898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-46635051722893372402011-02-06T12:26:53.587+10:002011-02-06T12:26:53.587+10:00Nice shots.

We were visiting my Mum & Dad in Caloundra at the time (3 years ago) and it was fascinating, even though rather gory, as the larger of the two had given the other one a really nasty bite and wasn't letting go. We watched for about 20 minutes until they went their separate ways.Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-57472357744000291632011-02-06T04:16:03.357+10:002011-02-06T04:16:03.357+10:00Fantastic Diane, these water dragons are so intere...Fantastic Diane, these water dragons are so interesting and really beautiful!DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-65195400687029604622011-02-06T04:12:52.698+10:002011-02-06T04:12:52.698+10:00Great post!
