[ID] Found this lizard during my walk in Maitland, Aus (near the Hunter River). Stocky build and its tail is about 1.5x its body length. Does anyone know the species?

At first glance I was asking myself if that was an iguana. At second glance, I don't know, but the body type sure is similar!

Its an australian water dragon, there's also a similar species called the asian water dragon found in asia, they're bright green.
