My biggest surprise of the trip was how stoked I was to spot the pygmy goanna and the gecko and how blase i was about the snakes. I may have to so some gecko herping up here soon.

I forgot to take your mobile number
2 monitors, I did not even know the big one was a perentie, are they found near Newman?
I am off my head, the worst part was that Coral bay was packed so we did not even get to stay there, we should have stayed out east for a few days more.

 

[westaussie]

yea mate you do get perenties around newman but they are far more prolific around coral bay and up towards exmouth.
I camped just north of Coral bay as I know a few campsites that many of the tourists dont.
