I live between chatswood and north sydney and you would be suprised with the amount of reptiles crawling through these suburbs, although on the north shore there are a few exotics crawling around lol.

go look for snakes,and keep looking the more you look the more you will find ,if you dont go looking you wont see anything its as simple as that.
i find snake in areas all the time where they are not expected,like 6ft brown snakes and black snakes in the middle of well established suburban and industrial areas ,with no surrounding bushland at all.
You have plenty of bushland at castle crag,now get to it and keep looking

My partner works around that area and sees lots of native wildlife. He has seen a echidna in North Chatswood, and a few pythons in various places. Always lots of lizards, blueys, dragons. There's lots up there.
