My wife and i have just spent a few days up in the high country of N.E. Victoria. We had a great time, caught heaps of trout and saw stacks of reptiles, including possibly the biggest eastern brown snke i have ever seen. Im going to post some photos in the field trips section either tonight or tomorrow night, but first i need to try and identify these two different types of lizards.
I have had a look at moloch05's awesome photo guides to aussie lizards, and i cant find either of them.
Based on what i have read and photos i found, the best i could come up with for this one was a jacky lizard.
Is this a jacky lizard or something totally different?

These lizards were found about 30-40km from Omeo in the Victorian high country on the bank of the upper mitta mitta river at an altitude of approximately 700-800metres above sea level.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
The first is a mountain dragon Rankinia diemensis
The second i think is a Cunninghams skink Egernia cunninghami but im not 100%
 
Thanks everyone for all your help. So it looks like i have a jacky dragon and a cunninghams skink.
Thanks again, now i can put a few photos together to share in the field trip thread.
