Distributed along the Australia’s eastern seaboard from around Cooktown to Gippsland in Victoria.
A large dragon lizard found along permanent waterways where it basks on banks and overhanging trees and logs. When approached will jump into the water to escape and can swim beneath the water for some distance. In populated areas can become very confiding allowing close approach.
