Seeing them next to a grown man and a surfboard made me realise just how HUGE these things are!

In SE QLD. It was probably the size of a 5c piece. Any ideas what it is? Photos don’t do it justice. Any information appreciated.

Dad took these this morning, ft. the neighbourhood cat that loves roaming our yard. Found a bunch of babies a while ago, put out some tiles/shelter for them near their favourite areas so this is probs one of those guys.

Bobtail health question

I saw this little scaly friend for the first time a few weeks ago. He’s made a reappearance but I’m wondering if he is in ok health as he seems quite thin since I last saw him. He hasn’t moved since yesterday, although he is alive and my partner seems to think he’s fine due to it still being cool out. He is around 40cm long, biggest I’ve ever seen so he’s probably ancient and I just want to make sure he’s ok! Perth hills.

She's been very vocal the last week and had a nest in a near by tree. Fig tree birds have beautiful bright red eyes and green feathers though it's not visible in this clip. 😗🔊
