We are a society of herpetology enthusiasts sharing information and interest in all reptiles and amphibians - snakes, lizards and frogs.

Hawkesbury Herpetological Society Inc. - Conservation through Education and Research. Thank you for your interest in the Hawkesbury Herpetological Society. We pride ourselves in our efforts to educate others about habitat preservation, care techniques, and other practical skills involved with keeping reptiles and amphibians. Our members put this learning to use through practical activity to conserve bushland, rehabilitate wildlife, and advocate on behalf of native reptiles and amphibians. If you live in the area and have an interest in reptiles, why not come along to one of our meetings - everyone is welcome. We hold Society meetings at 7:30 pm on the 2nd Friday of the month:

In the depths of far west NSW, one of Australia's rarest reptiles hides. 🦎

For the past 25 years, researchers have been studying the kungaka, a rare skink that has only now been formally identified as its own distinct species.

Found in the Mutawinji National Park, kungaka means "hidden one" and was named by Wiimpatja, the traditional owners of the land about 130 kilometres north-east of Broken Hill.

With recent surveys discovering there are fewer than 20 of the skinks recorded at the national park, it has now been labelled Australia's rarest reptile, found nowhere else in the world.
