A lace monitor, aka goanna, ambling through the grass. These are very large lizards that are most often seen in trees. Like snakes, they don't smell through their nostrils, but with their tongues.

Very nice shot with tongue out!! I have encountered the occasional lace monitor on bush tracks around Sydney... much to my relief, they give way and saunter off into the bush.
