The common goanna around the ACT is Rosenberg's
Goanna. One was seen on the north side of Mt Tennent a couple of months ago by
most of the group on a Wednesday Walk by the ACT Native Plant
Soc. The only Lace Monitor recorded up to about 1985 in the ACT was one
that lived in an enclosed courtyard at the ANU in the early 80s. It that
was later fitted with a transmitter and released on Black Mt. It wintered in a
hollow tree after which the transmitter was removed. Soon after that I found it
roadkilled on Barry Dr with the imprint of the transmitter still visible on it's
back.
The nearest population of Lace Monitors to the ACT
is at Wee Jasper.
