I photographed him near my family home in north east victoria a couple of years ago - and I only just remembered the photos. He is sitting on the path down to woolshed falls, near Beechworth. The falls are only a few kms from home. 
He let me get within a foot and a half of him to take that photo. My guess is that he is a water dragon - but I'm not great at IDing lizards.
By the way - this is the falls (well part of it): 
There is a few much bigger drops below that photo - and a bit of turbulence/a very very fast race cut through the rock up a bit. More photos if people want them - I have one of the whole thing from above somewhere. |

I woulda said water drag also, but im not entirely sure, it doesnt look quite right, might be a sub species or something.

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Sep-07 Location: Rosanna, Melbourne Gender: | | | See - I just looked at the long toes and though water dragon - If I had thought for a bit I might have picked it as a jacky - the problem was I havent seen enough of them to have it at the front of my mind.
Here is a pic lower down in the falls:  |

Dead silent too - occasional noise from the road, but that is the only noise from human habitation whatsoever. To make it better its only 4 km out of beechworth, so a run to the shops or a meal at the pub is so easy. |
