As I was in Sydney over the weekend, I encountered an Eastern crossing a busy four lane road. I stopped and helped it to safety and grabbed a few pictures. Its from a western suburb of Sydney called Riverstone.
Very clean for a wildy, normally they have a scar or two/missing tail.
Cheers,
Dave.

I live about 30 minutes away from there, though the wild ones near me are usually a dark greenish gold where as this one look like it has a nice yellowish colour to it.

'Rivo' is regarded as being in the badlands
A mix of degraded farmlands, industrial estates and rundown houses. I suppose its perfect bluey habitat.

Pack your banjo when going there. Also has a reputation in some circles as being a hotspot for illegally kept elapids, particularly browns.
Check for the trades done in the car park of a well known hamburger franchise.
