Here are a few pictures. They were taken at a variety of different places. If anyone can tell me what the little skink is it would be much appreciated.

Edit: Sorry, more including the skink to come .

And some more. The little skink is in the last photo. There were hundereds of them running along the forest floor.

Love that pic in the last lot of pics with the 2 frogs, I had to look at it a 2nd time as I thought I saw a 2nd frog in the back ground, looks like L. fallax? And either L. peronii or tyleri in the front?

Yeh, I didn't see the frog in the background until I came home and uploaded them onto my computer.

The lacie would have been just under 2 meters. He was longer than I am tall and I am 1.7m.

Cool photos, I like the fallax in amplexus. I think your skink is a Saproscincus spp. Depends where it was photographed to be sure of the exact species.

Lovely pics. The little skink is in the genus Saproscincus but I don't know the species. I think that there are several that overlap in northern NSW.

Thanks. After having a look I think Saproscincus challengeri is probably the most likely species. Here is another picture of on of them:

where exactly was it photographed, S. challengeri is very restricted

At the base of Minyon falls in the Nightcap National Park. Only thing that out numbered them was the leeches
