Why hello there....

Came across this guy on the walk around Middle Head, scared the hebbie gebbies out of me.... he didn't stay around long enough for me to get a decent shot of him, and I have no idea what type of Lizard he is.

Pig and Sow

Sow and Pigs Reef is a rocky reef in Sydney Harbour. The reef is situated on the eastern side of the main shipping channel between Middle Head and South Head. 

Originally the reef was exposed and resembled a sow and her litter. Explosives were used to reduce the reef, however, now the reef is only exposed at a very low tide. 

A number of ships have been wrecked or damaged after hitting the reef.
