Can any body guess what sort of lizard this is and because it isn't that hard also tell me where this morph is found which is hard ? :lol:

Varanus acanthurus insulanicus....from literature I have it's found on islands off nw NT including Groote Eylandt and the Wessel Group.

Either that or I'm stupid and that's a Sandfire ackie...found in the sandfire region.

No Simon, You were partly on the right track.
This morph is not considered to be insulanicus and is marked differently than the typical accies found on our Pilbara coast and comes from a particular island.

V.acanthurus brachyurus...I've got no idea where they come from though :-(

This particular pic was taken from Varanus island a very small area not that far from Barrow island off our lower Pilbara coast.
