took these photos at the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan Sydney. The garden is situated in the south west of Sydney and is spread out over 1040 acres or 416 hectares. They have an extensive collection of seeds of some 10,400 Australian species stored in a seed vault.
This lizard is an Australian Eastern Water Skink and they are commonly found around east coast waterways. They can grow up to 30cm or 12 inches in length and they are extremely fast little lizards.
I hope you like my pictures and thanks for the visit.
