I took this photograph on a trip to Dundee Beach. The Goanna just walked up the beach towards me and perched itself on a rock long enough for me to get my camera out and take a few photos.

I shot this cute little critter around Yardie Creek, near Exmouth in Western Australia. He was only a foot long. Full adults grow to 3-4 feet. He had no qualms at all about posing for my camera….even managed to poke his tongue out slightly!

Perenti Goanna -Central Australia Nov 07 Taken on the Stuart Highway en route to King’s canyon Central Australia. A Monitor commonly caught and captured by indigenous people for food. This Perenti was about 2 metres long. He posed for about 3 minutes and then politely let me know that it was time to go. (flared out his throat and hissed). Absolutely stunning reptile to see in his natural habitat. My guess he had never met with humankind before..only because of the location he was found (its semi arid desert and nothing else and the mere fact he was still alive). They can grow to 3 metres and are second in size to the Komodo Dragon. / I hope you appreciate him. Featured in Australian Wildlife twice!!! :))))

Bardi ‘Saltwater’ people at England’s most famous sacred site Stonehenge: Photo: © Julian Andrews. Barni is a word used by the Bardi ‘Saltwater’ people meaning goanna. The Bardi people are from the Dampier Peninsula situated around 200 kilometres north-east of Broome, Western Australia. They are coastal people who have looked to the land, open waters, tidal flats and mangrove creeks for thousands of years for food, law and traditions. Even to this day Bardi people continue to practice their culture and to live this way of life. About Framed Prints: Finely-crafted custom frames create stunning art pieces from RedBubble prints.

My Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club mate and I were both stalking this very fine specimen of Varanus varius (Lace Monitor or Goanna) in the Crowdy Bay National Park when it decided to climb a tree for safety and flattened itself against the trunk while keeping a verrrrry watchful eye on me. A made a few photographs of this four foot (1.25m)Australian lizard getting closer each time and ended up with this one made from only a few feet (3m) away. It was in medium shade so I used the pop-up flash at full power to throw light into the shadows under its body. It also helped with the catch light in its eye. Note: / Thanks to Steve Bullock of the Australian Wildlife Group I have learned that my Monitor is a female. Fuji S9600: f/3.9 @ 1/60sec, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Amphibian & Reptile collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more lizardy critters. UPDATE: / 10-0-08 / This handsome Aussie lizard has been featured in the Australian Wildlife Group Enjoy!

A mystical Aboriginal-styled depiction of the Australian Goanna features in this design. Goannas are a type of monitor lizard and are a very significant element in Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime mythologies. They also make great back-garden pets if allowed to roam freely without hindrance from dogs etc. They are an intelligent and at times, very amusing addition to many Australian rainforest properties. This design was first hand-painted onto rock then photographed to produce this print effect, “Goanna Dreamtime” is one of my earliest works in the 3D painting medium I created a few years ago. Thanks for viewing my work. ~ Skye

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Lace Goanna (Varanus varius) Warrumbungle National Park, New South Wales. The Lace Monitor, or Lace Goanna, (Varanus varius), is a member of the monitor lizard family, commonly known as goannas in Australia. This is a derivation of ‘iguana’ which the early settlers applied (mistakenly) to the large lizards they saw. / The Lace Monitors are the most common goanna in Australia and are found, usually near the coast, from Cape York, down the East coast, round to South Australia. They are the second-largest monitor in Australia after the Perentie. They can be as long as 2.1 metres with a head and body length of up to 77 cm. The tail is long and slender and about 1.5 times the length of the head and body. / Their patterning consists of white spots, blotches or bands on their body. Their diet typically consists of insects, reptiles, small mammals, birds and birds’ eggs. It’s these last items that put them at odds with homeowners: the goanna, like the dingo, is very partial to chickens and chicken eggs, and his powerful limbs and claws can make short work of a chicken wire enclosure. / The aboriginals valued goanna fat as a medicine and Cornelius Joseph Marconi started marketing his “Goanna Liniment” and “Goanna Salve” in 1910, incorporating goanna fat, eucalyptus oil and the ingredients of a charlatan’s herbal snake-bite cure. It rapidly became a popular cure-all used for aching limbs through to cleaning guns! Modern environmental concerns have overtaken the original recipe and no goannas have been used in its manufacture for many years. Thanks to modern labelling laws the recipe is no longer totally secret – it is now made out of oil of wintergreen, camphor, eucalyptus oil, pine oil, peppermint, menthol, and some secret herbs and spices!.

On my trip to the south-west of WA to find all the endemic birds to the area, my attention was caught by a group of LBJ (little brown jobs—birds) creating a commotion. I wandered over to find some Fairy-wrens harassing this little guy. I am not sure how big they get, but this Rosenberg’s Goanna (Varanus rosenbergii) was only 30 or 40 cms long, and not too concerned by the birds flapping around him! Cheynes Beach, Western Australia.

Goanna basking on a fallen tree. 200 ml lens Nikon D60. Approximately a metre and a half away from me. This was the largest Goanna I saw. Approximately 2 metres in length from nose to tail. He wasnt afraid of any of us and ruled the roost in the camping ground. Croajingolong National Park. **All proceeds from the sale of this image will go to the Australian Wildlife Appeal currently run on Redbubble.**

The goanna successfully enters the hollow in the tree which the galah’s used as a nest, and spent some time in there consuming the contents.
