I was walking through Mount Kuring-Gai a few weeks ago with a work colleague when we saw the goanna in these photos.

I took the opportunity to get a few shots.

These are pretty strong lizards. They have some beautiful colouring on them and can be quite dangerous.

The last shot is of a different goanna that we saw later on in the walk. I think that it gives a good idea of their size.

This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s Monochrome Madness for this week.

I strongly recommend checking it out to see what other people have submitted, as well as checking out Leanne’s work outside of M.M.

I also recommend submitting and being part of M.M. It’s a fun, community-driven event.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy.
