A very big but harmless lizard

We didn’t see any snakes or other reptiles on our visit to the John Forrest National Park but there was this sculpture of a blue-tongued lizard, known by most Australians as a ‘sleepy lizard’ because they are generally slow-moving. I’ve put up photos previously showing their blue tongues. We would see them on the farm and they would often steal eggs in from the chooks’ nests. They also loved strawberries. The photo also shows some of the stone walls and steps which I’ve talked about before.
