I'm going to try and set up an on-going thread where we tell each other about good places to see wild herps, how to get there,best time of the year, what herps you are likely to see and the chances of seeing the animal. I'll start off

Place Name Girrawin National Park.
How to get there its on the Queensland-NSW border near Stanthorpe About three hours south of Brisbane.
Best Time Spring or autum, Its hot in the summer and freezing in the winter (below zero tempretures)
Wild Herps
Cunningham Skinks - Abundant and easy to see but they like the higher points. Any of the granite monoliths have a colony. These are the new england morph with the gold head and beautiful pattern.
Gilberts Dragons - Common but cryptic
Nobbi Dragon - Very Common
Tree crevice Skink - large dark skink
Eastern Water Dragon - Only seen a couple
Large 2 meter plus brown snake - very fast and very shy - possibly a taipan.

Other notes Have seen Platypus and Sugar Gliders and satin bowerbirds. Also thieves work the campground at night, their favorite targets are bannanas and bread (brush-tailed possums)
