Now, you'd think an Aussie sheila who was brought up in the bush giving cheek to Blackfellas would know that a little bobtailed goanna is pretty much harmless.
Well! I've never seen such a performance. Screaming and shouting - you'd think the damned thing was a tiger snake.
The poor little bugger was just looking for somewhere cool so I swept him/her into a bucket with a broom and let him go in the long grass down the back.

Ya didn't pick him up with ya bare hands?
Girl's blouse!
Boy you are going to be on `short rations' for a while Adolf.
LOL! My mother-in-law has the same reaction whenever a tiny, little lizard comes anywhere near her.
What do you mean, 'going to be'?
18 inches and fat?
I'd be screaming too!
He looks like a nice little cute fellow.
Long grass down back? Wore your thigh high boots and gaunlet gloves to go there I hope.
Are they good eating?
Anon, I expect so. You'll need to ask a Blackfella.
They taste ok, if you can persuade the blackfella cook not to reduce 'em to a charred lump.
Not as good as the bigger goannas though.
I would BBQ that myself.
