>>Depending on what edition of Cogger you have, the dragons are probably listed as Lophognathus longirostris and Lophognathus gilberti - not Amphibolurus.

After reading the descriptions, I think you and Scott have nailed it. The pics in the book (6th edition) did not resemble the individuals I saw, but the descriptions match up.

>>>>Doesn't look like the picture in Cogger, but if that's the prevalent ground skink in Kakadu, I'll take your word for it.

>>Can't help you with this one, I'd need a much better photo.

This was the problem I foresaw before I took my trip, with so many species IDs dependent upon close examination of scalation etc., but I wasn't allowed to touch the Queen's property.

Thanks for your help!
