Thanks Nathan... I think this is the right ID for this little guy. :)

Thanks Scott.. It is a bit to far south, but it could be a Brown-backed yellow-lined ctenotus, brown-backed yellow-lined ctenotus (Ctenotus eurydice). Or a traveller...

Looks somewhat like black-backed yellow-lined ctenotus (Ctenotus eutaenius), (see suggestion link), but I think yours is too far south http://www.arod.com.au/arod/reptilia/Squamata/Scincidae/Ctenotus/eutaenius
