Giant Goannas and Australian Bush Lizards Alive in 1950s Sight
The article details Australian goannas from the Tree-climbing Goanna to the large central and northern varieties. It recalls Garry the six foot tree goanna at Healesville, a famed capture on Mt Monda, and the monstrous Mt Monda giant goanna battled by Arthur Hart. It notes egg laying in midsummer, nesting in humus or termite mounds, and young goannas with bold markings and rapid growth.
