User's notes

Lace Monitors are a constant companion in this locale. They have been using breeding burrows in a particularly sunny spot on the internal gravel road for over 30 years. The last photo was taken at that same spot in 12/2010, in which there are a couple of inquisitive babies checking out the photographer!
