Byron Bay is full of surprises, there is a dragon in the garden.
An Eastern Water Dragon (Intellagama lesueurii) to be precise. This guy, and it is a male because of the clarity of its markings and his size, is about a metre long and is reasonably tolerant of human presence. Thery are found along the east coast of Oz down to Gippsland in Victoria.
The guy in the first photo is all there, you just need to click on the gallery to get the whole picture.
