hi mate,
went out there a while ago and we found loads of shingle backs.
a few were just out wandering and a few were in hollow logs.
saw lots of other little skinks. not sure wat they were though.
best of luck

[Leigh]

if you like desolation and the color brown then you're in for a great trip
i grew up there, partly. sadly the only reptiles i remember are the blueys a friend kept in a pit. but enjoy nonetheless.

do you know anybody at the Ridge ryanharvey1993, family or friends etc?
