From work by Professor Thomas Madsen and Dr Beata Ujvari at Fogg Dam, as well as Dr Greg Brown's regular counts, we know that most of the big
floodplain goannas were killed by trying to eat toads, within a year or so of the toads first arriving.
The combination of
floodplains and wetlands, savanna woodlands, sandstone cliffs and escarpments provide sanctuary for agile and Wilkins» rock wallabies, northern bandicoots, black and antilopine wallaroos, northern quolls, dingoes, flying - foxes, ghost bats,
goannas, frogs, pythons, and cathedral termite mounds.
