Wow.. pretty.. o_O no idea what it is though, but its cool... How big?
 
egernia , andim trying to decide which species there are 3 in that location in that genus
saxatilis,striolata
and whitii but it aint one of them
 
I would have said Egernia saxitilis. Do they have blue spots in some locales? I cant make out the parietal shields but it looks Egernia.
Yeah striolata.
 
Its about 9" long nose to tail tip and lives in my dads garden shed he took this photo today in an ice cream bucket and then released it again as he loves it living in his shed .It and its family have done for years. Any idea on the sex?
 
Considering this is a ID on skinks,i asked about this one to no avail,it was on the Mid North Coast.

Without checking the books pythons73- your one looks like ctenotus robustus, robust striped skink. That or something related.
