One of the many magic things about living in the bush is the wildlife. It is a privilege to have them so close and living their life in front of us.

Lace monitors are Australia's second largest goanna. They can grow up to 2m in length so are sizable animals. Lace monitors are fairly common in this region.

There are two colour types of lace monitor, the grey with bands and spots and the Bell's phase with large dramatic bands of yellow and black. Both are from the same species. The Bells Phase is less common in this part of the world.
