Being on a creek near the beach on the North Coast of NSW, i get a lot of interaction with the local retile population. They neighbours in the industrial section where i live know i keep snakes, so when they need one relocated they come and get me.
The main snakes here are, of course, carpet snakes and we have seen them here up to 12' long. We also get green tree snakes here, black and browns etc.
As far as lizards go there is a stable population of water dragons down by the creek, there's a bluetongue that comes and goes from my shed as he pleases, even saw a huge Land Mullet with healed shovel marks all the way down his back walk past once. What a dinosaur! When i looked him up they said that they don't grow as big as this fella was.
Some pics for entertainment;
