This is definitely a Fence Skink, more specifically the subspecies Cryptoblepharus pulcher pulcher.
They're excellent quality photos Tim. Do you mind if we add them to the field guide to use as examples of the species? They're so clear and crisp! Do you mind telling us what camera/lens you used?

@PatrickCampbell2 Hi Patrick. Thanks for the comments. You're welcome to add any of my sightings to the field guide to use as samples of the species. As to the camera equipment, under the 'Add a sighting' tab there is one for 'DSLR photography guide' which I produced for Aaron and NatureMapr. The equipment and macro techniques I use are described in the guide (around section 5, I think). Any other queries, please let me know.
