I had been out here at Tiega the day before when I activated the Tiega I81 Bushland Reserve.

It was quite a warm day and as a result I saw several lizards enjoying the sunshine.

The Tiega I80 Bushland Reserve is located on the southern side of Mallee Highway opposite Le Couteur Road and the Tiega I81 Bushland Reserve.
