lizard type?

Hello, I saw this lizard this morning on a walking track in Canberra. Actually there were two, but the larger one darted behind the rocks before I got a photo. It's different to the lizards I usually see (shinglebacks mostly and sometimes bearded dragons) Anyone know what it is?

oh thanks guys. Can cunninghams also be light grey? - my dad often sees light grey ones that he thinks are cunninghams. This one was on the way up Mt Majura from Hackett.

They can be grey with black flecking, they are a highly variable lizard in terms of colour
