First!

Although much of the road between Thargomindah and Innamincka was sealed, there were some dirt sections. 

It was on one of these that we spotted a sand goanna, ambling across the road.  It ran a lot faster when we slowed down!

After Nick stopped the car, Vaughan gave chase.  I wasn't expecting him to be successful, so took my time exiting. 

I don't know if it was Nick and I or the goanna who was most surprised by Vaughan's success!

Our boy was super-chuffed with his first-ever goanna - and so were we!
