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)  |

We live in the pilbara and you would have to be god cursed or blind not to see herps here. You fly in or drive in. 2 hr flight from perth or 16 hr drive. Best times are November to May. We commonly see:
Pythons Stimsons, Perthensis, Bhp, not so often Pilbara Olive ( barroni )
Elapids Mulga, Gwarder, Rosens, Yellow Faced Whipsnake, Moon snake, Death Adders ( pyrrhus, wellsi )
Dragons Beardeds, Ring tailed, Ta-Ta ( longirostris ), Central netted
Geckos Knob tailed, Bynoe's, Fat tailed, Western spiny tailed
Monitors Perentie, Goulds, Panoptes, Accies, brevies
Centralian Blue tongues
Because it gets so hot here your ' day ' herps can often be seen at night when it cools down to 30 degrees.

Just report National Parks if you feel that way.

What, ya don't think it doesn't go on in S.A.?
You're foolin' yourself if ya do.
Anyway it was a Queenslander that pointed out how wrong it'd be.
