thanks, my 7 yr old son has developed an interest in lizards, and spends his free time looking for them. i run out and photograph them but would love to know how to identify them for him. We homeschool our children so the internet is very helpful and we loved looking at your photos
Thanks Jennifer!

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing….i think it is great and helps to educate others. LOVE your photography…I too like to get out and about to photograph the wildlife big and small x0
Hi Stewart
Great shots, albeit I’m glad I’ve got a botanical background, given your proximity to some of those critters. Was wanting your advice re access to Bringalily – best ways in, how did you find the roads, could you get around easily?
Many thanks
Paul
