So this is more of a semi-complete project that I had planned. I tried to finish making some sort of monitoring room, or security room, however you may view it, and admittedly the biggest pain was trying to design the control console within a tight area. This was the best of my abilities could do.
I'll try to have another pic up soon.
Vegetation monitoring is done every two years. Exotics and native species are located and counted during this monitoring. In the above photo, plant species are identified and counted within the space between the two poles. The black tape on the poles are a foot apart and aid in quantifying how much of one species is within the sample space. This sampling took place before planting in 2008. Eventually, the ground was covered in plant life.
I found this poor homeless monitor camping in a hedgerow, and wondered if anyone will take him in. As can be seen he runs Photoshop C.S.6 quite well even if the colours may be off a little, (don't tell him but I think thats the pop he drinks).

Monitoring well
Groundwater is the general term used to describe the water that has permeated into the surface of the earth and formed underground water lakes that are known as aquifers. The level of groundwater is monitored by special measuring instruments within so called monitoring wells. Monitoring wells are wells with a small diameter drilled into the ground, which are used for level monitoring of groundwater and water quality analysis.
Aquifers form an underground water reservoir where water reaches impermeable material such as a solid rock layer. Yet, it does not have a flat level top as we would expect with surface water, due to the difference in permeability of the surrounding soil, which complicates the measurement of level within the underground reservoir. They may also form at different depths and it is therefore not unusual to find several different aquifers at different depths in the same area. To learn more about this resource of water and to monitor the level of these reservoirs, monitoring wells are bored and used for level monitoring.
Really love these large reptiles. I see them regularly in the wild but they are usually not as large as this one.
Walking round the pets section of one of our local garden centres, yesterday, I spotted this little guy, just begging to have his photo taken!

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!

Night-time platypus monitoring at Olinda Creek, Lilydale.
As part of our role as waterways manager, Melbourne Water conducts regular surveys of platypus populations in rivers and creeks. These surveys are about monitoring the health of our waterways and the animals that live in them.
The lace monitor or lace goanna (Varanus varius) is a member of the monitor lizard family, Australian members of which are commonly known as goannas. It belongs to the subgenus Varanus.
Lace monitors are the second-largest monitor in Australia after the perentie. They can be as long as 2.1 m with a head-and-body length of up to 76.5 cm. The tail is long and slender and about 1.5 times the length of the head and body.The maximum weight of lace monitor can be 20 kg , but most adults are much smaller.
These common terrestrial and often arboreal monitors are found in eastern Australia and range from Cape Bedford on Cape York Peninsula to south-eastern South Australia. They frequent both open and closed forests and forage over long distances (up to 3 km a day).

The ornate monitor is a species of monitor lizards native to West Africa. They live in lowland rainforests. Ornate and Nile monitors are often confused. Although they have somewhat similar markings, they are very different animals, and they are now recognized as separate species. There are many simple ways to tell them apart, look at the tongue.
A Nile monitor has a dark blue or purple-blue tongue. An ornate monitor has a pink tongue.
