james7 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Caught the ferry across to Taronga Zoo last week and did the walk along the foreshore to Bradleys Head and Chowder Bay. At the bottom entrance to Taronga Zoo, I got a few photos of the seals in the tank there. They are amazing to watch swimming under water. Walking along the track I got a shot of this lizard. I think it's a water dragon? A bit further on, there were a couple of very tame kookaburras. Amazingly, they just sat in the tree posing while I took a few photos. It was a great day, despite the overcast conditions. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 They are some terrific shots Peter! Well done. The lizard is what I call a water dragon.I might be wrong though! We have a heap living on the river bank out back. They get bloody big as well!! Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catchin Jack Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yup an Eastern Water Dragon it is, they can get up to around 1 metre in length but most under that. Great photos, love the kookaburra ones. Cheers, Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Loops Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 hehe great shots Peter love the Aussie flavour. Been trying to find a kookaburra laugh for a ringtone for a while now - figure it would be a crack up haha... no luck so far though. Keep the awesome pics coming!
