Help with Id

[GregOz]

Hi,

We found this in the pool. Unfortunately dead. Sorry for the poor photos. It is about 10 cm long. We live in Hornsby Heights (northern Sydney) just near Galston Gorge.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Greg

so not only are you using a scarce resouce such as water to bathe yourself in but you are killing our wildlife also. next you will be saying you support the japanese whalers on their research.
im sorry i have such a warped sence of humour at times

Thanks for the help.

It's got an injury on part of it so it maye have been dropped by a bird.

Rocky - unfortunately no herps but lots of insects/spiders/scorps.

Thanks again for the help

Greg
