Over the last month or so iv managed to find the time for a couple of day trips down to Ku ring gai to have a look around and see what i could find.The first trip was really good weather, around 27 deg during the day and cooling off to about 20deg at night.
Some pics from my first trip:

Great pics, was up there (West Head) in January, saw a couple of great lacies (a small one & a big one) & a snake track. The small lacie was just ambling along the track, the big fella was just getting off the track, was up a tree by the time I got there. Followed the snake track along the walking track, from where it got onto the track to where it left the track would have been a couple of hundred metres. There were areas where the curves were a lot tighter & more dirt pushed out, so maybe disturbed by the bike & did the bolt a bit. Will be heading back in spring to hopefully find more out & about looking for mates etc.

The first picture of the monitor walking along the ground is actually a Heath monitor & the one up the tree is definately a lace monitor you were lucky enough to see both species of monitor in the area.

Ah cool, thanks for the info. I just thought the small one was a juvi lace monitor, with juvi markings (stripes on tail etc). Cheers thanks.
