As we came up out of another creek crossing, Trevor with his eagle eye spotted this ancient eye staring back at us from atop a large flat rock.
The heat from the day radiating back out from the rock slab would make this a cosy Bearded Dragon resting place for a few hours yet.
This thorny scaled reptile might not be as old as any of us but in this ancient arid landscape it certainly looks the part inheriting its DNA from a time when dragons ruled all.
