It's a goanna of some sort. Looks more like a scalaris to me than a tristis which would fit with your location. The heads a bit like a storrs but the spots look more scalaris.Yes nice find
 
agree with spongebob at first sight was thinking tristis but the pattern and colour look like scalaris possibly either way very nice find very cute
 
All I find in my pool is dead rats, frogs & the occasional blue tongue... nice find :)
 
Pattern on the back certainly suggests tristis or scalaris but the head and neck not so much. I do not know the pattern of juvenile V.mitchells but I'd consider it an option seeing as it was found in the pool.
 
It looks like it could be Varanus scalaris based on pattern. Was it found in Darwin?
 
My best guess is Varanus scalaris then, based on colour, pattern and location.

Tristis and Mitchell's have pointy snouts. Yours is more blunted like scalaris
