Sorry for the lower quality image, I took this one on my phone and as the saying goes, the best camera is the one you have with you.
Fun fact: This is the deadliest lizard on planet earth. Rather than just poison, this species' deadliness is solely attributed to it being found in Australia.
I saw a few that walk. I took a step down to get the photo and was reluctant to step closer as it appeared to be getting its back up and looking for a fight. I wasn't going to press the issue as i just saw a baby water dragons close by.
Please be very careful taking beautiful photos like these in Australia. Specifically, watch out for all of the Australia around you.
