Eastern Water Dragons are fairly common in SE Queensland and can be found sunning themselves by local rivers and creeks, or in this case, in the beautiful gardens of the Spirit House in Yandina. The Thai food here is soooo delcious! They also take cooking classes if you are keen to learn the house secrets. It is about an hour and a half drive north of Brisbane in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. http://www.spirithouse.com.au/
