Tour Guide Rob Bamkin says – Recently I met some of the Jarlmadangah boys at Willare Roadhouse on my way home from a camping trip. They told me they were shooting a doco with National Geographic on the Saw Fish program and were en-route to the Barrage which is a fresh water dam on the Fitzroy River North East of Broome. Canny said to me ‘ wanna see a big Barni” (goanna). He then pulled a bag out from in the back of their troopy (Australian slang for large 4WD) and slowly dragged this goanna out. He told me he was keeping it for dinner, but I found out later that when they arrived at the Barrage the people they were with had already cooked up a big BBQ so Canny was no longer hungry.
Lucky for the lizard as Canny then let it go!
