'Goldilocks' species spotted in Jerrabomberra grassland for first time in two years | Riotact Cupped in Rob Armstrong's hand is one of the first Canberra Grassland Earless Dragons to be seen in NSW in…

The Monaro grassland earless dragon (Tympanocryptus osbornei) is one of Australia’s rarest reptiles. It’s habitat has been severely impacted by overgrazing, ploughing and building activities.

The last Dragon is a beautiful children’s book written by Charles Massy, a Cooma-based landholder implementing ecological grazing practices. The book is sensitively illustrated by Mandy Foot.

Well worth reading, this book presents a sensitive interpretation of a small dragons’ search for others of its kind - and is suitable for children aged from 6-10 years.
