just done a day trip to Kroombit tops national park on the weekend.about 85 km west of Gladstone.its famous for a great view of the Boyne valley & a world war 2 Liberator bomber crash site from back in 1945 and wasnt discovered until1994 where 8 people died.its also the home of big population of lace monitors,massive carpet pythons, redbellies,heaps of lizards ,geckos and the very rare Kroombit tinker frog.
unfortunatly no snakes on this trip but we found 4 laceys and some small dragons and beardies

all the laceys we came across were just crossing the tracks and when we went to photograph them they just casually climbed the nearest tree.one was very layed back and allowed me to get within a meter of it..there is a 13km walk along the escarpment that we are planning to do soon and we should run into heaps more reptiles.
 
Great pics. We get quite a lot of lacies in the Kuringai Park just north of Sydney, & I never get sick of seeing em. Was lucky enough earlier in the year to come across lacies & a heath monitor on the same day (see my albums).
Awesome view in your pics, what a cracker. The bomber would have been fascinating too, hope it wasn't too stripped by "souvenir hunters" (read "stinkin' vandals"). Gotta love a top day in a National Park.
