What I am quickly remembering about the wildlife in Australia is that their is quite the population abundance of reptiles. Snakes can be quite common - however, the more obvious is the lizards. Typically, basking on a log or in plain open sight enjoying the hot sun.
This little guy was not concerned about me what-so-ever and kept basking in the glorious midday sun, as I snapped a few photos of him. Something other than marine mammals to put up on Steemit for once…

Gordon Gecko?
not quite - I reckon he is way better than Gordon Gecko
That's what I was thinking.
Nice photo! Upvoted :-)

Nice pic @thomasjmitchell ! You caught his head just right so that the backdrop allows for nice contrast against the light silhouette of his head
I met up with many litle dragons in the Roma Gardens in Brisbane when I was visiting my sister there in 2016. Also very chilled they were
He was quite the co-operative model. Roma Gardens are a great place to visit in Brisbane
Yea the beardies there roam quite freely! I did enjoy the Botanical Gardens more - Roma is better for just strolling but not for cycling
Is it a poisonous animal? Do they harm a person?
It is not poisonous. It is a small lizard and its no threat to a human

Looks cool, but animals like these I have to view from a distance. I just get too creeped out by them!
this is true for many people. they are pretty cute though when you get use to them :)
Wooowwww.... It is cool..
Excellent image Thomas! I'm not too familiar with Australian reptiles but I'm pretty sure this is a male Eastern Water Dragon (Intellagama lesueurii). Good find ;)
I love to see and read and enjoy your post, very good your work.
Lovely picture mate, keep it up, love watching your stuff! Check out mine while you are at it, I would like to have a nice discourse about photography with you!
Great photo taken and beautiful creature.
WAW IT S DANGERAST
Out of curiosity - what lens did you use?
I used my canon 100-400mm lens. its the one I usually use whilst on the water photographing marine mammals
I hear that's a good travel lens. I'd miss not having a 2.8 aperture though.
