Too cute for their own good, Water Dragons are more often heard than seen as they dive into the water when disturbed. A Water Dragon can remain submerged for around one hour and they are accomplished swimmers.
In the wild, Water Dragons can be found in large numbers in areas of suitable habitat. These groups are usually comprised of several females, juveniles of various ages and a dominant male who will defend as much of the territory as possible from other males. Water Dragons communicate through a variety of dominant and submissive signals including head-bobbing, saluting and substrate licking.
Adult males can grow slightly longer than one meter.

if it keeps still it thinks we won't notice ... and that's mostly true ... especially with the dogs :)

Nestled in the picturesque Brindabella Ranges outside of Canberra lies the Cotter Dam, an integral part of the capital region’s water supply infrastructure. Completed in 1915, the sweeping concrete gravity dam was enlarged in the 1950s and today holds back the glistening waters of the Cotter River, which when released flow down towards Canberra's reservoirs. Located within the woodland expanse of Namadgi National Park, the dam's scenic location makes it popular for hiking, fishing, cycling and picnicking. The elegant curve of the 30-meter high dam wall contrasts with rugged natural backdrop of bushland-clad hills and the river flowing into the Cotter Dam’s deep tranquil waters. Visitors gazing over the dam wall can contemplate the engineering feats and natural grandeur that have combined over 100 years ago to sustain Canberra's urban expansion through to the present day.
