easiest way is to grow native cover and food plants and make your yard cat proof
 
Got all that just cant keep the cats out lol.

I got a big bird bath out the front and the cats hide under it in the plants and then pounce on them might have to plant something thorny under it.

My backyard isn't very exciting, few skinks and marbled geckos.
I think this one is a weasel skink?
 
I have tonnes, will see if I can find some pics. some like the fairy wrens are hard to photograph cause they don't sit still

I will try to find more

Recently had a big RBB basking but it vanished before I found the camera :(

We have blindsnakes in the compost and lots of yellow faced whipsnakes cruising through once the weather warms up

Not true Zulu, we pick up all sorts of native wildlife in Mt Druitt, probably one of the most diverse habitats in Australia.
