Megalania... some say they've seen them recently. That would be pretty neat as long as they're at a distance.

yeah ... if you could catch one ... I have also seen an old painting of a bunch of those guys battling a giant snake .

A bit south from me in Dhungutti country they say ( at a specific spot) "Dont you kids go up on that mountain - the big wombat will get you . " They have been saying that since they were there. A few years back a giant wombat skeleton fossil was found up there ( well ' found ' , by whitey, that is .... the Kooris found it long ago apparently, or may have lived alongside them.

Noooo .... giant wombat ;

(Warning; the methane gasses emitted by the giant wombat during testing may not be the same as during normal operating procedure. )

I'm more a dinosaur fanboy, but this megafauna looks insane. Too bad they can't be resurrected.

Yep, one big monitor lizard, about twice the size of a Komodo Dragon, probably also venomous. The Perentie is the largest living monitor to survive in Oz, as least as far as we know, and its pretty formidable.
