I went for a 2-3 hour walk the other day, to a point on Sydney Harbour called Little Sirius Point. There is a small patch of bushland left over, with a walking track. It is a good little getaway from the buildings and streets of the big city, quiet and with a nice view. It is located right next to the famous Taronga Zoo on the north shore of Port Jackson.
Australia is always good for surprises and I was delighted to see more than a dozen of big lizards along that way. They are called
Australian water dragons (auf deutsch
Australische Wasseragame). They hold perfectly still for some time, and then all of a sudden they run away extremely swiftly. When they run, they look funny because they stretch their legs to raise their body up high. They are also good climbers and swimmers.
