We have lizards in Spain, too.
I think that if you go up to Cape York you'll see some bigger ones there. Of course, that means a long haul to Australia, but there are always compensations: Elle still looks pretty damned lovely; Walter might buy you a Fosters and you could always swim with sharks. Hmmm... makes me think I should buy a ticket! No, I wouldn't attempt to drive there in a Fiesta. I mean, I wouldn't attempt to drive to get there in a Fiesta, though I see no reason not to drive a Fiesta once I was there, should I go, which I couldn't do unless I did.
