Me and a good mate went down to the organ pipes for a good half day of looking for some reps.
I am a horrible photographer so please forgive me , I also didn't take too many pics.
We stumbled onto this creature baked on the path, so we stuck him in the vegetation for a nice picture. We think he is a golden stag beetle.

Now to some real reptiles.
I had to brave a swarm of bees for this picture :lol:

Garden skinks were everywhere, but some had some comical places to hide...
Peek a boo! by nickgherping, on Flickr
These guys are very fast so this was the only really not blurred photo I got

We spotted some nice Ctenotus but while I was busy fumbling with my camera they escaped into a shrub.
Hope you enjoy and maybe next time I can finally get some of those sneaky striped skinks!
