There are more then 800 species of lizards in Australia, and that number grows each year.
Lizards live virtually everywhere, from parks and gardens in our towns and cities to peaks of the highest mountains and plains. And some thrive in the harshest conditions.
It may be diminutive in size but it punches well above its weight in terms of usefulness, being packed with more than 200 images covering many of the species most likely to be encountered in Australia.
