Stewart,
I realized that I did not answer your question. The nocturnals were all on the sealed road at night.
Ryan,
I did not see many diurnal lizards even though the habitat looked good. The most common diurnal was Lozenge-marked Dragon followed by Spotted Military Dragons. I also saw a few Gould's Monitors.
Regards,

It was at Eagles Bluff that I nearly fed myself ,3 kids and 2 dogs to a school of black tip reef sharks , we decided to go for a walk in the water as the tide was low and out for along way ,we were heading towards the channel as it was deeper water ,anyway lucky there was a bloke with a set of binnocculars watching our movements he screamed at us to come back ,so we did , he handed me the set to look into and HOLY HELL about 50 reefs were coming our way he commented as soon as we were in the water the school of sharks changed direction and started heading towards shore ,they actually beached themselves and swivelled back we watched in amazement some were as big as 5 foot so we would of ended up as fish food especially as the climax was out in the channel there was a 16foot tiger shark scoping up and down waiting for what originally was the reefs pushing a huge school of mullet back to the channel ...so thank GOD he was there...WE also went to Monkey Mia , we got to feed dolphins and my husband did some carpentry work for one of the skippers there so he took us out on one of the catamarans 'THE SHOT OVER'(for free) we got to see tigers and dugongs ,dolphins ,turtles and plenty of fish it is a beautiful place...  |

I have never worried about the reef sharks but, then, I have never seen more that 3 at a time. Tigers, however, were always a concern and worried me although neither my son nor I encountered one. Did you see Stewart's (ReptilesDownUnder) report from Exmouth? He waded into the shallows in an area with turtles and had an encounter with a Tiger Shark.
