I'll admit I was surprised, when driving a few days ago, to see this large Goanna wandering along the nature strip outside a neighbour's house. I stopped the car and wished I'd had a longer lens on the camera as I quickly caught this shot. Australia has about 25 species of Goannas, I think this one probably is a Lace Goanna (Varanus varius) , also known as a Lace Monitor. Best viewed large. Happy Fence Friday, everyone, I wish you all a great weekend.
