Went for a quick, 6 hour, day hike on Saturday. Couldn't go for much longer due to Tropical Cyclone Hamish. Wasn't a herping trip, but I did manage a little luck. Saw some amphibs and some Carlia skinks, along with the herps pictured.
Found this specimen floating face down in a steam. Wasn't too decomposed either. My guess is either Varanus tristis occidentalis or V. scalaris. I'm leaning towards the black headed/freckled. Found just outside of Townsville region. I'd say it measured around 30cm.
Found this live Dendrelaphis punctulata in a creek bed in the rain.
One of the various frogs found as well

Thanks,
