The Eastern Water Dragon habitat and numbers along the creek banks of Penrith City is a good indicator of the health of the City’s waterways.
Below are listings of the Eastern Water Dragons activities and hideouts:
*A young male eastern water dragon, spotted in a backyard on December 6th 2006 which was closely followed by a sighting along the waters edge around Werrington Lakes.
*A young Eastern Water Dragon which has taken up residency in a garden in Jamieson Street, Emu Plains, from April 2007. This young Dragon has been making itself very at home finding a number of sleeping positions around the house, including the top of a hot water tank and in front of a bedroom window ledge and enjoying the continuous supply of bugs found near a composting bin.
* This Female Water Dragon marvelled a household in Nepean Ave in Penrith on November 3rd, 2008 when she stared laying her eggs in front of a watchful crowd. Residents monitored the progress of her young.
*In October 2008 an Eastern Water Dragon decided to go for a quick dip in a local swimming pool in Emu plains.
*Four Eastern Water Dragons have been spotted by kayakers on December 6 2008, along the various channels from the boat landing site on the Nepean River at Castlereagh.
